They said the same thing about unicycles, it will be a thing of the past soon enough.

I mostly just don’t want someone’s mom getting mowed down by one and ending up in the hospital with a broken hip or a TBI.

Seriously, have we reached the point as a society where we can’t even ride a normal bike? Pathetic.

There was a poster here last week who said he could only keep up with his kids if used an e-bike

Sad situation

I was with my family the other day at a small river we like to go hike around and picnic.

Two jabronies on e-bikes came down a mountain bike trail and tried to cross it going quite fast and both ate it and the bikes totally submerged.

I helped them get up and push their bikes up the embankment, those things were heavy. They just walked the bikes until out of site, no clue if they ruined them

thanks for reminding me to get safety lights for mine.

It only does 17 mph btw, don't come at me. I pretty much only use it for hunting but do have to go down roads to get to where I need to.

Where do you hunt that allows ebikes to go where other motorized vehicles can’t?

Every tom dick and harry has one of these STUPID bikes in my town. I almost hit some dumbass teenager on one the other day because he didnt even stop at a stop sign when i was running through it! I caught up with the dipshit and gave him a good talking to and he said he was there first so he had the “right way” but bikes ALWAYS yeild to motor vehicles. I told him i would just flatten him under my 40 inch tires on my truck next time and see how he likes it for not following the rules of the road. Embarased him in front on his ugly girlfriend so im thinking he will change his ways

If someone wants to ride one of those in traffic and gets hit, i don’t feel sorry.

They knew better and just tried to chance it

That is the problem. They are not allowed.

But it is also not enforced.

The fats love them. It's all the fun of riding a bike with no effort. When I'm out running I notice that 90% of people on them aren't pedaling at all and just run the throttle.

I was camping this past weekend and there were a number of kids riding around the campsite on e-bikes, and e-scooters just running the throttle. All of them overweight. It annoyed me to no end.
