Bike lanes and paths are now full of people buzzing by at 25mph or more.
Honestly everyone going 25mph on an ebike is taking a motorcycle or car off the road. And im happy with that deal
Anyone going that fast on a bike IS a motorcycle.
I saw a Vespa today for the first time in ages, and kind of wondered why mopeds have fallen so out of favour. There used always be a few 16 year olds belting about on them.
But why would anyone get one when they can have an ebike? Vespa is likely more expensive, needs petrol, you need a licence, a (relatively) expensive helmet, you need costly insurance.
Compared to an e-bike that’s half the price, doesn’t need a licence or insurance, can be ridden with a normal cycling helmet, and is allowed use bike lanes. It’s a bit of a no brainer.
