minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 days agoI feel like having the horsepower of an entry level motorcycle is a decent benchmark.
minus-squareSirActionSack@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 days agoTorque should also be part of it. Plenty of 250W e bikes that make 80+ Nm. That’s similar torque to a 750 - 800cc motorbike.
minus-squareSaleh@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 days agoAn e-bike might only weight 25 kg where a low powered motorcycle is at more than 100 kg. More power by weight is faster and can be more dangerous
