Is it legal to change the speed limit of an electric bicycle?

In Malaysia we follow the standards set by UK for power assisted bike. The legal maximun power output is 250W with an acceptable speed limit of 25km/hr. It must also be pedal assisted with a speed reducer installed.
You will have to apply for a license to ride your ebike if it exceeds this limit and you will also need to wear a helmet.
I would advise customers who would also like to ride their ebike in Singapore, to consider getting one with power output of 200W as that is the acceptable limit there. Choosing one that is also foldable makes traveling with it more convenient.
You can read the full details in this presentation I created.
