To be fair that truck is unsafe at any speed.

Even sitting in the parking lot people bash their legs on the tow hitch.

The electric bicycle doesn't require a license to use. Supposedly you have been properly trained in the operation of a vehicle and are licensed to use it before getting behind the wheel. Supposedly. In reality the DMV hands licenses out like Halloween candy.

I'd say the speed limits on ebikes are primarily there for the safety of the operator, not others. Pretty much all cars nowadays have similar electronic limits.

The limiter on an ebike also protects the 14 year old kid riding it from going too fast. If it didn't have limits then it'd be an electric motorbike that would need licencing, insurance, roadworthiness etc.

Which one of these vehicles expects to be operated in pedestrian spaces?

I don't know why this is so hard. Cars should also have speed limiters, and the reason they don't is bullshit tradition. As we invent the next paradigm in personal transportation we shouldn't be making the same mistakes. I really can't imagine how anyone could disagree with this unless they are acting in bad faith.

The existence of ebikes doesn't depreciate the existence of motorcycles or mopeds. If you want a motorcycle or moped then get one, but don't pretend it's ok to ride it on bike paths.

I actually think the point of this lifted truck is to kill pedestrians; a lot of people LARP running people over and getting away with no consequences.

They also usually own firearms.

So should you (and know firearms safety)

Plus one of them doesn't blow exhaust into the face of the rider on the other one. I know I'd take the one that doesn't have exhaust.

For those of you in countries that care about people and push pedestrian safety in vehicle design: take a close look at that front bumper if you haven't.

Ebikes typically have a speed limiter. That brodozer doesn't because they modded it.

However, some go fuck-all by rolling their own ebikes for higher speeds to get around license restrictions normally needed for a motorcycle.

Both? Almost all cars have speed limiters because the tires they ship with arent rated for higher speeds.

Fuck cars, but also fuck idiots on unlicensed 40mph Temu deathtraps.

Want to go Bertie Big Bollocks fast, grow some leg muscles.

I'm for options. Where I live there is no option. You must drive. The busses come once and hour and go nowhere useful itnseems. There are few sidewalks and fewer bike lanes. Even if you wanted to ride a bike there's strides everywhere making it dangerous AF.

I want the option to drive, or walk, or ride a bike, or take a bus.
