I do hundreds of miles on my e bike a week. now that's fun on a scooter it would be torture.Speaking for myself I've put hundreds of miles on it and can't get enough.

Guess it's a good thing you don't ride it then.I do hundreds of miles on my e bike a week. now that's fun on a scooter it would be torture.
no it was good for errands easier then the bike for short trips. but it was impractical for long trips and less then great weather.Guess it's a good thing you don't ride it then.
Tired of fat kids passing my car going uphill on a bike as they snack on a bag of chips, like they're REALLY pedalling it.Ok...bit my tongue...going to voice an incredibly unpopular opinion here. F'ing hate all of these damn e-bikes invading the bike pathways. Lots of lazy kids breezing along high doing sweet f-all....and couch potatoes never lifting a finger to exercise, being a nuisance on the pathways. Get off your fucking ass and exercise, dammit!!!
There...let the public stoning commence.![]()

You mean, so they were only at top speed and went off of the path onto the rocks below? Yep, that'd work...decrease the idiot population.I guess my question is: would it make any difference to you if the e-bike didn’t have a throttle?
Progress to a fatter, lazier society...on the plus side, they won't live as long.Looking back to when most of us were kids, we had to pedal or scoot ourselves and it meant exercise but was also fun being outside and playing. Those days are gone, instead of being told to come in and eat, parents have to make their kids get off their asses to get outside and when they do they rely on electronic motors to get them around. Granted, if we had these toys when we were kids we would probably be no different so it's hard to blame them, progress, I guess.

Edit: Ooh...could make a note to sell thousands of them at the next GOP convention.. Crash and burn bitches!

Have absolutely no issue with people using them for health reasons - and, yes, assist when peddling should be the limitation for people using these on dedicated bike trails. Scooters shouldn't be allowed on trails that were designed for people to use for exercise.No throttle on an e-bike means that you only get assist when using the pedals.
Honestly, without the sort of e-bike I ride now, my joints would mean no real bike riding at all.
Not sure if you caught my post a page back but this one looks like it would handle it, but at $4K I could never justify it for the putting around I do.EDIT: on topic though, I wonder why nobody sells a speed limited scooter with enough power to climb hills like with class 1/2 e-bikes? I’d honestly buy one.

The rules are still being worked out, and it seems people disagree on how to break it down (speed versus capability). MUPs where I live have a 15mph speed limit, so class 1/2 e-bikes are permitted (20 mph top speed on the assist without or with a throttle). Class 3 are prohibited (28mph top speed, no throttle) and those are generally prohibited on any bike or shared path and need to stay in the road or bike gutters. Not sure I disagree with how many road bikes I see doing 20-25mph in a shared paved trail as if it’s a commuting road. Those throttled e-bikes are not the fastest things on these larger paved trails.Have absolutely no issue with people using them for health reasons - and, yes, assist when peddling should be the limitation for people using these on dedicated bike trails.

Yeah, mine is fast enough for me but I'm guessing this thing has all the torque you need to be able to climb any hill. I look at the speed limit like a car, it may do 120 MPH but I never exceed 75.Key bit in what I said before being speed limited. I don’t need or want a 28+mph top speed. (To be fair, not sure I want to go much faster than 16-18mph on the Ninebot Max)
Actually, 144.841kph=90mphFMA.

140 is like 86.992
Now, no-one would begrudge you for saying 160kph=100mph (as it's 99.4)![]()
Max speed is rated around 55mph, which, jeez.
I’ll pass. I’m not interested in becoming a meat crayon.
