Correct – texas law limits an ebike to 20mph – so technically my bike falls into the moped category. No license, registration, or insurance, but I don’t think I’m allowed to ride it on bicycle paths.

20mph top speed is with the trailer – I don’t feel safer going faster than that. Real top speed of the bike is more like 35mph on the windless flats when it’s in “turbo” mode.

It depends on how big the yard is and how tall the grass is. For yards that are howard’s size – $15 or $20

Last I checked, the law says ebikes can go to 30 mph without assistance, and above 30 mph with assistance. It can weigh as much as you like. Its power is limited to 3000 watts. So, looks like you are good if I am correct.

It used to be 20 mph without assistance and about 20 with assistance. And they limited the weight to 100 lbs, but had unlimited power. I liked that law more. I am tired of laws and all the changes.

Not to be a wet blanket and I applaud Shelby’s crazy inventiveness, but doesn’t Texas law limit ebikes to 20 MPH?
