I would NOT go fifty mph on a bicycle. You could quite easily die if you crashed, and you could quite easily crash if any one of hundreds of small things go wrong.
You sound like you already realize this. But I just wanted to add my own witness to it.
Enjoy brother. Ebikes are awesome.
I started the project in a time of my life when I was a raging alcoholic. I had little to care for and nothing to lose. Was hitting 30-40 mph on my longboard weekly and that was getting boring, wanted a new challenge and rush that I built myself to feel like the smart mechanical inclined man I was before being a worthless alcoholic. Found the light again, have a wife and kid on the way. And now I have a death trap that was supposed to put me i my coffin doing what I love, and I don't want that to be the end to my story any more
