How is your city dealing with the scourge of e-bikes being driven by teenagers?

just bought one out in the burbs. 'lectric dirt bike.

however, was walking around nashville recently and almost got clipped by "teens" blasting through crosswalks on scooters

Don't see these much in Charleston. They must know how bad our drivers are so they stay off the roads.

What's the solution?

Set legal requirements based on the capability to have artificially induced max speeds (artificially so that people can’t claim that they can manually pedal that fast) and treat them that go at or over the max allowed speed like you would motorcycles.

Require age limits, DLs, and license plate registration.

We should be able to function without all of that, but we live in a low trust society and an overly litigious one.

Scruffy would support the freedom to ride any e-bike at any speed without all that if we also make it to where they cannot sue anyone under any circumstance and forfeit any right to socially funded medical care.

They’re everywhere in SW Florida. I’m scared I’m going to witness some 11 year old have to get scraped off the payment. The parents are insane.

We already have laws. Police need to step up and enforce them.

I was stopped at a stop sign yesterday and a kid was turning left on the street perpendicular to me. He turned too sharp and slid down right before hitting me. He was very close to getting a physics lesson he would never forget

The scooters are bad, too. I have seen a 12 year old girl zooming down my street and I could easily smoke her backing out of my driveway.

Just the ole' bruthas where I live roll the cheap eBikes on the sidewalks to the Dolla Stow and the liquor stow. Small town around Marksville.

Tell them to get off my lawn while clutching pearls
