The only requirement is that those e-bikes that have a throttle control feature are to not use that mode, but rather only use the pedal assist power control. Pedal assist means that the bicyclist needs to pedal and then the engine will add assist power to that. As soon as the bicyclist stops pedaling the engine shuts off.
Found myself cringing from the apparent rate of speed in the video considering how often the road ahead was "blinded" by either curves or hills. Suspect I retain some PTSD from a car wreck experience at age 10, though. . .
