    Why are they capping wattage as well as speed? Is it important to the Canadian government that people must be unable to climb hills?

      I would assume without reading it that it’s because if you have enough wattage, you should be able to make more speed if you know how to get past whatever limiter there is.

        This legislative whack-a-mole doesn’t work and tends to originate from those with no understanding of the tech involved. See 3D printer laws that ban certain shapes as “gun parts.” Very silly indeed.
