You can peddle far faster than that. What a shit speed limit
I guess if you want to ride an electric motorbike, you will need to register it and get a motorcycle license; and follow road rules relating to motorcycles. The bar is higher because the dangers are higher.
Yes but unassisted the mass is significantly reduced and an effort required to maintain speed. The main problem is the motobilke tier ones that dickheads, mainly kids, are using. Dyno units probably cost much less, especially long term, than healthcare cost associated with these things. Not just from them striking people but kids that lack the brainpower and experience to operate vehicles on the road, or in general.
Maybe we should let the children back on social media
You know what, I’m sold. If we can’t let them give themselves or other people traumatic brain injuries, then we should hand them back to corporate social media that has been shown to be damaging to them psychologically, packed with misinformation and controlled by billionaires. There is nothing outside for children to do if not travelling the speed of motor vehicles on sidewalks or weaving through traffic, after all. It’s a bold take and I’m here for it.
You can pedal faster, but you cant speedup as fast as e-bikes or e-scooters. Only illegal bikes are to be destroyed.
