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.
Bike lanes and paths are now full of people buzzing by at 25mph or more.
I would take that over the hunters on our hiking trail.
That just sounds illegal.
2nd amendment and all
No I’m pretty sure that the DNR prohibits hunting to specific areas on public land.
No one is willing to enforce it here. The local pd and the sheriff’s department said to start carrying and fire back at them.
😰
Honestly everyone going 25mph on an ebike is taking a motorcycle or car off the road. And im happy with that deal
Anyone going that fast on a bike IS a motorcycle.
Yes agreed, although i prefer electric motorcycles to ICE. At least they dont wake me up at 3am, brrrpbrrrprrrrrrrrp
