How Fast Are Electric Bikes?

How Fast Can Electric Bikes Really Go in Europe?

While standard e-bikes in Europe are designed to assist up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph), some premium models with higher wattage motors can reach speeds of up to 45 km/h (28 mph). These high-performance e-bikes are often equipped with more powerful motors and are designed for those who need extra speed for commuting or long-distance rides. However, these models are often classified as speed pedelecs and may require special registration and insurance in some European countries, like Germany and the Netherlands.
