Long post here and I would just like to hear about any normal looking Ebike that has a twist throttle and can travel faster than 50kph Rather buy the bike that does what you want straight out of the shop. Don’t come crying to the shop when something does go wrong. I reckon ‘go for it’ if it is a road-going bike, but you are taking a risk. Your warranty provider will however care if something goes wrong. Well sunshine, the law doesn’t care anyway because you aren’t gaining any power, just speed which you are allowed (within reason – the road has speed limits that apply to all vehicles). I am going to get a tuning dongle for my bike, the law will never know! The good folks of Whakarewarewa (Rotorua) will breath a sigh of relief at that. That’s a good thing, it protects other users from danger. Similarly eMTBs have to comply with the 300W limit. So putting a 1000W motor on your fatbike and hooning along the beach is illegal. It’s any place where the general public has access - whether by right or not - including a beach. Sorry, but the definition of a road is a lot wider than a tarred strip with kerb and channel. I’m only riding this bike off-road, so I can have whatever motor I like!
There is no suggestion that throttles are to be outlawed – they form a very important part of how cadence sensor bikes work. It’s only not legal of the bike is mostly powered by the rider. If you never pedal then that would be true. Throttles are illegal/will be outlawed.

Here is an example of a power estimate on a “300w” bike (Ezee Sprint for reference) going at full speed (~36km/h) on the flat, remembering that some power is coming from my legs – probably 100W in this instance – more like 200W full-bore on a torque sensor bike like my Turbo.
Strava does estimates of power and supports that view. And if you measured power at the wheel (rather than at the battery) it is probably more like 200-250W. It will definitely peak at higher than that, but is unlikely to sustain that for more than a few seconds. So why could a 350W bike be legal? Because it might not really deliver 350W constantly. And why do we even have a power limit? Good question, I don’t believe a great deal of thought went into drafting that legislation which is why it is currently under review. And if it is only 250W, how come it can go faster than another (not speed limited) bike rated at 350W? And is the ‘350W bike’ legal? Maybe. Does that make it illegal? Not really sure, but most likely it is OK. The bike I ride mostly is rated at 250W, but peaks at around 750W. If you want to know about all of the other places where myths and legends originate, there is an excellent Wikipedia page. You can read it for yourself on the NZTA website. most places you can ride are considered roads.there is no speed limit other than the limit posted on the road.Even some of the locally designed ranges spread incorrect information. So whatever a distributor of bikes from elsewhere tells you is probably wrong. Let’s be clear, the rules in New Zealand are not the same as the USA, Australia, Europe or the United Kingdom.
