The ebike class 1/2/3 concept is stupid puritan nonsense driven by cyclist jealousy and serves only to limit the usefulness of ebikes as car replacements.

    I did a 20km commute for a month in one of the Low countries and it was a very pleasant way to spend the morning. In the warmer months at least.

      My daily commute is just under 20 Km’s on average. I started doing it by speed Pedelec (Class C) a few years ago. It seems that my commute has become father on average because I don’t have to bother about parking space (most companies around here don’t have staff parking lots) and rush hour trafic. I leave for work 10 minutes later than I did by car.

      When the weather is really bad I use public transport, which is fine. I invested in decent clothing to keep me cool, warm or dry and that has been one of the best investment ever.
