Multiple straw man arguments and baseless accusations in your response, unfortunately. To set the record straight: I am constantly looking out for debris, obstacles and other people sharing the routes I’m on and adjust my speed according to the situation to maintain a safe environment for all. I spend a lot of time planning out routes to improve the safety of my ride. I didn’t request any arbitrary restrictions, computerized or otherwise, or even request any laws. I also did not state that I “shoot off at 28 mph if the shared path is empty”. It’s up to me and all of us to follow the law and ride safely.

Also have a torque sensor. I ride mainly for exercise so I stay in minimum pedal assist or even turn off assist sometimes.

I do not use my throttle at all and removed it. I had hit it accidentally a couple times, and simply by preemptively downshifting I could accelerate faster from a stop without the throttle than with it. So I found my throttle entirely useless, or even potentially dangerous due to the accidental taps of it, and removed it. When it was installed it would accelerate the bike up to 20 mph even in class 3 mode, which might have been a violation. The way I read it the throttle should have been completely disabled in class 3 mode.

Your bike software indeed sounds very scary and I’m glad that mine does not have the ability to impose such restrictions. If I felt that my bike’s software was putting me in danger then I’d sell it and get something else. But that’s just me.
