"The device is similar to a dynamometer typically used to measure the performance of vehicles like cars...the Dutch police have rolled out nearly 250 smaller versions that are appropriately sized for doing tests on bicycles...European e-bikes are limited to a relatively paltry 250W...e-bikes are permitted to reach 25 km/h under pedal assist..the majority of e-bikes that are in excess of local performance limits are fat tire electric bikes."
