"Check it out this guy is building a 100 MPH + normal pedal bicycle (well it's not that normal but there is no motor…"

"You can go faster on a push bike than a legal electric bike, up hill you might have an advantage with electric but down hill a hub motor will top out but a normal bicycle will keep getting faster. Also you are the only person suggesting a…"
