Hi oylavabeer, Wow that really sounds restrictive, I know there are quite a few guys on this site from Aust, I never read anything like that about the requirements being so conservative, 200 watts is pretty weak. Here they sell electric bikes that have 700 watts, in new york city where traffic is incredible and dangerous they have a electric bike shop in a very good area of Manhattan and I've read the dealer is not so nice and his service the same. But they do use them on the crowded streets of the city and this shop is doing well, because their is no registration required or insurance you don't even have to have a drivers license.
