I guess, the limit doesn’t apply for every country, but at least in Europe it’s quite common.

Using an exoskeletton would also get around the speed limit for the pedal assist.

    It’s not speed so much as torque. Class 3 ebikes are already pushing the limit. You have to be careful with part selection, and tolerances on derailier adjustment is tighter.

    And brakes. Then it is a matter of speed. You just need bigger parts to take more heat so you don’t get brake fade. It’s why anything more than a class 3 needs scooter/motorcycle parts. If they don’t, run away.
