Not outlawed, requires an AM drivers' license, registration, insurance and taxation, though is banned from use on cycle infrastructure as it's in the same class as a light motorcycle / Moped
Nope. The type approval is legally required to be displayed on the permanent sticker on the seat tube...
Whatever ...
I can't tell if you're being wilfully of bad faith or just ignorant, but even in the US this would be classed as a motorbike if the 8000w is enabled despite what the blurb says (it'sshipped as a class 2 20mph btw). It's outside of the definition of class 1, class 2 or class 3...
In relation to European regulations his statement is incorrect regarding an e-bicycle. The post was nothing but uninformed preconception. Please read up on what legally qualifies as an e-bicycle in Europe, plenty of correct info on this thread I won't repeat (thanks @Kathar1na )
Speed pedelecs...

Why would you post an opinion on something you clearly haven't a clue about?
How much € it costs to charge an e-bike battery is an elementary school level math problem which was explained/detailed in the 1st post of this thread.
As for the time frame to cover 900km in mountainous terrain on a...
If you're short on time or get behind, a bus ride will make up a few stages in a couple of hours.
It's your camino, only you have to be happy with it, don't sweat the small stuff
If you don't mind hills, if you go east along the coast from Bilbao the scenery is stunning, but the climbs just as much.

The Basque country is very very hilly and challenging for a cyclist.
I can't comment on following the...
