[–] copd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Honestly everyone going 25mph on an ebike is taking a motorcycle or car off the road. And im happy with that deal permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Anyone going that fast on a bike IS a motorcycle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] OriginalUsername7@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] copd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yes agreed, although i prefer electric motorcycles to ICE. At least they dont wake me up at 3am, brrrpbrrrprrrrrrrrp permalink fedilink source parent
