I too think the 20mph is a little slow.....but considering we where not able to ride at all a 20 mph speed limit is a small price to pay.

A while back my chain tensioner fell off and I had to remove the chain just to pedal home. As I was going home I was pulled over for going 22 or 23 mph, I don't remember. The officer said even if I do not use the motor I still have to obey the 20 mph speed limit because just with the motor mounted on the bike I am still a motorized bicycle.

Their are a few here in Tucson who have gotten tickets for doing 21 mph. They just do not want us on the road.
