Well, I am lazy; that was one motivation for this. I live in a relatively hilly area and I feared I would stop using a normal bike pretty fast. Also I always have to pedal; I can't just switch the motor on, so it's not total lazyness.

Probably not since I don't need it to get to work (5 min walk).

You can use a normal power plug.

Why can you go only 25 with motor when the ROW can go faster without one?
Why do you not spend your money the proper BBV way (like hookers and blow mainly)?

Are you aware that you are ~8x more likely to die on a bike than in a car per kilometer traveled?

If you had your time again would you buy 200 x €10, 20 x €100 or 2 x €1,000 hookers?

How do you prevent chaffing?
Are there jumper cables involved?

I can go more than 25, but then the motor is off.

There is a motor directly by the pedals which basically only runs if you pedaling; in fact it seems to sense if you actually put power in the pedals and not just moving them.

This is the only English video I could find about the motor:

My bike has the same motor, as did like 90% of the bikes in the shop.
