You still pedal; the motor amplifies your effort.” Sources: https://rideopium.com/faq/ ### [Why choose a speed pedelec over a normal e-bike?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/ride-opium-q141180643#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-54896ade1ff61846-a-30801565059975209075) “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.” Sources: https://rideopium.com/faq/ ### [How fast will an Opium actually go?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/ride-opium-q141180643#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-54896ade1ff61846-a-008a75faee312b6ad257) “The motor assists you smoothly up to 45 km/h on flat roads and gentle climbs. Past 45 it stops assisting and eases the power off. Downhill you can still go faster under your own weight, but the motor won't drive you beyond its 45 km/h limit, as EU law requires.” Sources: https://rideopium.com/faq/ ## Company sources - [Ride Opium website](https://rideopium.com/) — rideopium.com · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-54896ade1ff61846) - [rideopium.com/faq/](https://rideopium.com/faq/) — rideopium.com · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-a8064edb1e3d1185) ## Continue reading - Discover the bounded graph: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/discovery - Retrieve this entity evidence: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/entities/ride-opium-q141180643/evidence ## Publication boundary - This public-sourced record brings together company information and its sources.
