How fast will a 12000 watt electric bike go?

Recently, I have been extremely curious about ultra-high-performance electric bikes, especially those with a power of 12,000 watts. I wonder just how astonishingly fast they can go. I have been exploring around, looking through a lot of materials and gathering the actual experiences of netizens. Now, let’s dig deep into this “speed beast” in the world of electric bikes together.

Generally speaking, the speed of a 12,000-watt electric bike is definitely not to be underestimated. Theoretically, its speed per hour can far exceed that of ordinary electric bikes. I have seen some technical analyses before. It seems like equipping the electric bike with a super-strong “power engine”, making it feel like it can dash on the road like lightning. However, this is only theoretical data, and the actual situation might be quite different.

I saw a netizen sharing on an electric bike enthusiast forum. He said that he once test-rode a modified electric bike with a power close to 12,000 watts. On a flat and almost vehicle-free and pedestrian-free closed road, the speed was simply thrilling. It easily exceeded 80 kilometers per hour. It was like riding a runaway wild horse with the wind whistling past the ears. But he also emphasized that such a speed is extremely dangerous on ordinary roads and he would never dare to attempt it easily.

However, the speed of an electric bike doesn’t only depend on power. Factors such as the body weight, tire grip and the riding environment all play a role. I have a friend who has done quite a bit of research on electric bikes. He said that if the electric bike itself is very heavy, it’s like tying sandbags to a running athlete. Even with a powerful 12,000 watts, the speed will be held back. And if the road surface is rough or there are many curves, the speed will be greatly reduced. It’s like a racing car that can’t go all out on a bad road.

Battery power is also a crucial factor. When the battery is full, the electric bike is naturally full of energy and can maintain a relatively high speed. But once the battery power is insufficient, it’s like a person without strength to work when hungry. The speed will decrease significantly. I heard that a rider had a fast electric bike at the beginning of the ride. But as the battery power gradually decreased, the speed became slower and slower. In the end, he could only ride slowly. The originally lightning-fast electric bike became like a slow little snail.

Also, different brands and models of 12,000-watt electric bikes have differences in speed performance. Some brands focus on maximizing the speed and carefully adjust the motor and transmission system, just like equipping an athlete with top-notch sports equipment to make the speed even higher. While some other brands may tend to focus more on stability and comfort. The speed is relatively not so exaggerated, but it feels more stable when riding, like sitting in a steady carriage. It’s not fast but reassuring.

I think that the speed of a 12,000-watt electric bike is really attractive. But it’s not a “toy” that can be easily handled. In a professional racetrack or a specific closed test site, it can fully display its amazing speed, just like an athlete sweating and breaking through limits on the field. But on daily streets, such a fast speed is like a “time bomb”. It not only endangers one’s own safety but may also cause harm to others. So, we should view the speed of such high-power electric bikes rationally and not just pursue excitement while ignoring safety.
