I'm using a cargo company to ship my ebike to my new home in Porgutal. They assured me I can ship the battery if it is disconnected from the frame. I am worried that they will ship it but that when it arrives in Portugal it will be rejected somehow.
From this forum I have found one post that said up to 1000 watts is OK in Portugal, but I have not found any source of information in either Portuguese or English related to batteries. My setup is an Xtracycle cargo bike with an Bafang 8Fun middrive and currently a 48 volt / 12 ah battery. It has a throttle and pedal assist. I will be upgrading the battery, either here or after I arrive in Portugal.
I would appreciate anything you can tell me about Ebikes and Portugal.
1) Can I bring a 48 - 24 Ah battery to Portugal (via cargo ship)
2) Where can I read about Portuguese ebike laws?
3) Do the police stop you and check wattage or battery?
4) Where do people lock their bikes outside? I don't see many bike racks where I will be living (Caldas da Rheinha)
