I got into the Texas law thing. For e-bikes.
Happy to have anyone correct any mis-statements.
If the e-bike is under 100 pounds and has a 750w motor (max) and has a brake capable of skidding the braked wheel (on a clean, dry surface) - then there does not appear to be a speed limit for trails So in areas lacking a posted limit on trails, below is the best design for speed. Has been human power clocked at 80mph. Add in 750w geared to run highest possible speed and one might get a speeding ticket on the bicycle trail - even in Texas.
Pedal on!

Not exactly an upright riding position. Probably no suspension to meet the 100 pound limit. Lacking that wind in your face feel.

All good sorry and it's finished

I don't know what some of you guys are talking about? My bike came from the factory 750w and 20 mph top speed. At the press of a button my bike is totally legal. I've ridden this bike 22,000 miles on city trails, and streets, and I've never been pulled over one time in 10 years. Never heard a complaint except from a few bicyclers dressed in Tour de France suits that like to race at dangerous fast speeds on crowded trails. When I'm on a trail, I respect the rules of the trail. When I'm on a street I ride at safe speeds, and no one seems to have a problem with. If I tried to ride at your normie eBike speeds, which I'd be within my legal right to do, I'd get killed.

Conversation with Saint Peter; "I was obeying the letter of the law when a bus ran me over, are you going to do something to the bus driver? Saint Peter; No you shouldn't of been impersonating a rolling road block fool."

Everyone has a right to their opinion. I understand peoples concerns even if I don't agree with them.

Which is what I said no one was going fast on trails. And a bike is a bike no matter what others my think it is

At least you could still pedal that thing when the battery is dry.
IMO, as long as it's got pedals and can be propelled by pedaling, and two wheels; it's a bike.
Regardless if it's a fully faired, record setting recumbent or a10kw motored ebike.
If it's got three wheels, it's a trike.

Once I had a power failure, and pedaled 8 miles home. Luckily my bike has a 9 speed pedal gearbox, and the bottom 3 gears have beach cruiser like gearing.
