minus-squarefake@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 hours ago 100% of e-bikes are capable of reaching 100mph. Ehh probably not. The downhill bike speed record is only a little over 100mph, took a 45 degree slope, high altitude and an aero suit. Most of these cheap shitheaps would be falling apart at half of that.
