Why choose a speed pedelec over a normal e-bike?

“Speed and range. At 45 km/h you keep pace with city traffic, and a 40-minute commute becomes 20. Opium batteries are large (up to 2,135 Wh), so you can ride most of the week on a single charge. If you cover real distances every day, a 25 km/h e-bike starts to feel like the slow lane.”
