Ebikes are a bigger fucking hazard than cars, I've seen fucking morons on those doing speeds that you should have to be licensed for and should need insurance for.

    You are kidding, right? A 17 year old irresponsible kid on a heavy bike going 30kms/hour (say, 20mph) vs irresponsible 17 year old kid in two tonnes of murder metal going 160 / 100mph, what's more dangerous?

    Ebikes can and should be limited to 25-30 (say 15-20mph) and anyone breaking that loses their bike. It's not a big problem.

    Cars are literally big problems

    Edit: bikes require, just like cars, good infrastructure. Build that and it's good
