I see, that does sound like they would be pretty much useless in the burbs, more useful in some downtown cores, but you’d have to keep track of the speed limit on the particular road you’re on.

The rules on ebikes in California are very different - there is a 20 mph speed limit for throttle control, and 28 mph speed limit for pedal assist. But the limit applies to the bike, not the road. I got confused by the differences between the two laws.
