You can also usually walk away from an ebike crash. When I owned cycles I was always getting hurt.

Electric bikes offer more pure, stress-free fun than motorcycles because they grant access to multi-use trails, require zero licensing or insurance, weigh a fraction as much (often under 70 lbs), and cost thousands less to own and maintain.

I just got a new ebike and put Flatout in the tires. It should keep them from going flat. If they do, I carry Slime and some co2 bottles for backup. If all that fails, I can call AAA. They tow bikes.

For those times you really feel like riding backwards. Lol

Nice photos. I just discovered riding with no hands on my new stepthru ebike. Could'nt do it on my last ebike.It's well balanced and never wobbles or shakes. I can take turns and makes for comfortable riding. Gives my back and arms a rest.Love it.

I use 750 and 1000 watt bikes because I live in the Pacific North West where hills are everywhere. It's not about speed, which is 30 mph max. but for the extra power climbing steep streets. If I lived in flatlands I'd have a bike with less power. I've seen many people out here spend thousands on...

Your an idiot looking to mislead or scare people with this "new laws" bs. Everybody can check their own state laws, like I have, for the last 6 years, as my ebikes are at the top wattage to be legal. Why you keep trying to say otherwise is a mystery. The power ebike laws are not federal but made...

Well, I live in a group 2 state so even under some new law that came out 3 whole weeks ago, I'm legal with 750 watts power. You can nit-pick this to death but it still comes down to just riding carefully and slowing down on the trails. If you cause an accident, and it's your fault, it makes no...

6 states currently allow 1000 watt ebikes. Most others are 750. What's the issue? You should just relax and enjoy the bike. It's legal.

Six states explicitly allow e-bikes with up to 1000W of power on public roadways: Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Virginia. Additionally, Florida and Mississippi have no maximum power limits for bicycles, meaning 1000W models are perfectly legal there, provided they can still...

For the last time, my state law say's any motorized bike must not exceed 750 watts. Above that it's considered a scooter and must be licensed as such. My bike is 750 watts. It's legal. They don't state peak output in the law, just continous output, which is 750. Now, are we clear? Good. I'm...

The best you can do to protect yourself from a lawsuit is to simply stay within your states ebike power laws. My state says no more than 750 watts or 1000 peak. That's what I have. I'm legal under the law. Seems pretty simple. If the law changes, go with it or don't.

Mine peaks at 1000 watts but I get passed by roadies on race bikes with no motor as well as people on escooters doing 50mph. What's the law say there?

Under Washington state law, your 750W e-bike is legally considered an electric bicycle, provided its top motor-assisted speed caps at 20–28 mph. Although it hits 1,000W at peak, the continuous motor rating of 750W means it qualifies as a Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike.

If that ever happened on a Federal level, which it won't, then people have to choose between breaking the law or buying a bike with less power. Like speed limits, drivers age requirements, and helmet laws, these are left up to the states to decide. My ebike is 750 watt but 1000 peak. So, is it...
