    Throttle puts me in a mentality where I don’t care about losing gained speed, because gaining it again is so easy. On a regular bike, I try to speed through dangers because “this speed was made with my sweat and I’m not giving it up”.

      You’d think that would be the common case but seems to be the opposite. And all these diy and random imports, people are not limiting throttle control to 20. Purely for enforcement reasons, both users and police, I say get rid of throttle*.

        In Germany, getting caught with a modified scooter or e-bike is definitely not fun and is considered as a criminal offence (driving without insurance).
