E-bikes can legally travel at 15.5mph. But the fastest the police have seized was capable of 70mph. What will stop the rise of these souped-up and potentially fatal vehicles?
Because they are illegal mopeds. Manufacturing them is cheaper when they don’t have to use money to pass any of the safety regulations and requirements of actual mopeds.
If they are built to spec, then it should be trivial for the manufacturers to make a legal version for those who want one, no? They could still keep selling the other version too, it would literally be the same vehicle after all, one would just have the required papers.

You know that’s not the reason. Stop telling yourself lies
