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.

The limits on e-bikes are intended to protect the rider from a catastrophic failure of the bike.
Bike frames just aren’t designed to be strong enough to withstand the forces endured by heavier vehicles like motorbikes.
It’s trivial to put an unlimited e-bike kit on a regular bike and zip around at 60km/h but there’s a real can / should question that needs to be ignored.
If you want to go faster than an e-bike get a proper vehicle.
This was quite obviously not intended as a real-life project considering that an exoskeletton strong enough to actually be of help would be way more expensive than a faster vehicle.
Of course you can put an unlimited e-bike kit on there but that would be illegal. Putting the motors onto your legs would be legal. That was the whole joke.
Sure ok. Whoosh. Silly me. What a hilarious joke. I’m in stitches.
lol, ragging on an OP in showerthoughts.
Fine job!
Remind me to remove you from our stand-up comedy roster on Friday nights.
Only… the speed limit of an e-bike is lower than the speed a normal bike can go when, for example, the wind is at your back, so that’s bollocks.
It’s more the power that can be applied. Most people capable of getting a pedal bike up to those speeds also know how to read the road for safety. Even then, bikes can basically disintegrate in a (initially) minor accident.
A powered bike is capable of destroying itself if misused.
If you think a bike frame is as strong as a motorbike frame then I cant help you.
