It seems to draw riders that can only be described as hooligans.

I saw a kid on a one-wheel doing probably 35 MPH on a very crowded path.

Personally Id much prefer speed limits over an outright ban.

MPH is fast enough to keep the bike upright but slow enough to stop on a dime.

Power is not limited, speed is.

Thats just stupid.

Also, please stop downvoting this post, most people in this forum dont agree with the citys actions but its important that people see this and have an open discussion about it.

Reply Share Report Save level 1 1 month ago But its fine for some Mamil on his carbon Specialized to go at max speed on those same paths right Rather just enforce a speed limit.

Reply Share Report Save level 2 1 month ago Because MAMILs are generally hyper-vocal lifestyle lobbyists with rich friends, and were just plain folk.

Reply Share Report Save level 2 1 month ago Ill never understand how there isnt just a speed limit.

Maybe it cant just be a hard number limit like cars, because most bikes wont have a speedometer, but never the less we dont separate streets into different ones for Lambos, barring them from 30mph city streets, because they can top out at 250.

Reply Share Report Save level 1 1 month ago Thank God, if they had let this continue people might get out of their cars and get outside and although its an electric the could still get exercise, just as not as much as a regular bike.

Its scary what might happen if the government doesnt protect us -4 Reply Share Report Save level 2 1 month ago Thanks for all the down votes.

Thats great All I did was suggest it people can decide for themselves whats best for them and we dont need the government protecting us I see some more down votes in my future.

Using this sort of logic we need to outline alcohol because we know people do get drunk and then they drive their vehicles that happens every day but we dont actually outlaw the alcohol we just outlaw the drunk driving 2 Reply Share Report Save level 2 1 month ago But the Bureaucrats love you-NOT 1 Reply Share Report Save View Entire Discussion (12 Comments) More posts from the ebikes community Continue browsing in rebikes rebikes Careful, power is addictive.
