    As if dozens of bros on dirt bikes and quads roaming about weren’t enough, you have these dumb kids getting their hands on souped-up “e-bikes” where pedals are but an afterthought. These hellions are giving other e-bike riders, including people relying on pedal assist, a bad rep.

      Heard from a friend who lives down just down the road from me say how recently this kid at her son’s middle school just put some older substitute teacher into critical medical condition after colliding with this kid on his modded ebike coming down round the hill as the old teacher was crossing the street coming out from work

        You need a license for those, which requires, at least in sane countries, pretty extensive training. Bicycles require zero training. Hence, electrically assisted bicycles should be limited to sane speeds. If you want it to be faster, it’s legally a motorcycle and you need training and accountability (license plate). It’s not that complex. Nobody’s banning faster e-mobility, you just need to prove you know how to handle it. Just like with the pollution machines…

            But of course you ARE that obese cunt, so why would i expect objectivity from you am I right, fatzo?

            I probably weigh more than you, yes. Majority of it, by weight, is muscle mass. In fact I probably have more muscle mass than you have body weight, flab and all. Put it this way, you claim to need a fast electric bicycle to get away from whatever bullshit you pull to make people angry, I could just run away if I punched you in the face for being a cunt to someone and you couldn’t catch me without your pwecious wittwe ewectwic bikey-wikey.
