From the article:

> It also features a throttle good for 20mph where regulations allow.

That must mean they have a class 2 option.

The way I read it is if you use throttle-only you can reach 20 mph, but then if adding pedal-power you reach 28 mph. The pedal is probably not generating sufficient force to add 8 mph, but it’s telling the control system to do that.

You can usually limit the bike to go less than 20mph in those cases.

It would be nice to have the GPS automatically set the pedal assist max speed when riding on shared paths with pedestrians and people.

I have also seen road bikers on those same shared paths pedal faster than 20mph.
