As far as I know, a limit can be set, but it is not a default setting and yes, a carrier has been ordered to house the control box so that and me will be protected by mudguards.
This is the £37.00 Mountain Bike, its aluminium and light as a feather, what a bargain, stuck the new tyres and inner tubes on (which I already had) but I will fit a new saddle.
Carrier and control box in position, have drilled through the down tube in two places to take two M4 X 60mm bolts to come to bolt the Battery carrier to the frame (Tuesday probably).
That's quite a bit of kit all in all. You'll soon be going up the hills as fast as you go on the flat.
One aspect I have found good about e-bikes is almost a safety feature, It means being able pedal smartly away at crossroads or traffic lights. The power assistance speeds up that initial crawl that bikes do from a standing start. Gets you across road junctions quicker when you have to choose your moment to go for it.
Battery is now mounted, had to buy one of these today so I can fit the Crank Sensor.
The £37 Mountain Bike is ready to roll apart from a saddle, I pinched a saddle and stem off another bike but the stem on that is a slighter smaller diameter, so, can't risk buying one off the Net in case it is the wrong size.

I have one of those with out the handle. Just needed a spanner or socket.
Emjay, I saw the ones on the net without the handle for a great £3.95, but, I did not want to wait another week for delivery, so I bit the bullet and paid the £12.95 at Halfords
