This is why electric cars are banned on many car ferry's because once on fire you can't put them out. They have to burn out. If you owned a hotel would you want the fire risk? There could also be some restrictions placed on businesses by their insurance as well.

Sounds like a clueless grandmother who needs to know what the heck she is buying her grandkids. These are not toys. Kids can be killed.

I see in my small town kids riding what I would call e-motorcycles which should be banned from sidewalks/streets and bike paths. When I was a kid I would get into trouble riding my minibike on to the street where the cops would take it from me and make my parents come pick it up. Now I see kids...

Looks like a metal goat head... We have those everywhere.

First thing I thought when I saw the pics was maybe over inflation? My tires are always just under the max recommendation, but that's just what I like to do.

Usually these murals are done in 'tag' areas of town to help prevent getting tagged.

The bike is 'garden art' in the town of Packwood, WA. A fun little town in the cascade mtns. I'm 6'3" to give an idea of the size of this thing.

Can someone help me convert my bike to an ebike?o_O

If you put some tannus liners in, you won't have to worry about puncture. I have around 1,200mi on my 4.8's and never a puncture. I'll be interested to see what you go with, but I still have a ways to go on my tires.

I've had my 160Nm for 3 yrs without any issue up hills, flats, snow, whatever. As long as you know how/when to shift its not a problem. If you lug the motor or try to throttle around then you will most likely not have good luck. FWIW

Its really up to what you want. No helmet, that's cool. Accidents happen so quick you just never know if you will ever need one til the time comes. For choosing a helmet I went with style and comfort as I really don't think the 'safety' to be much different from one to the next since most...

A Himiway Cobra Pro w/Bafang mid drive that has 160Nm of torque and throttle/torque sensor is available at $3,200. I would not recommend throttling around with a mid drive, but it is available and is a good reliable bike. There is one available on the net with 481miles for $2,099 from this...

You want a good bang for your buck, I ride the Himiway Cobra Pro which has a 1000w Bafang mid drive w/160Nm of torque. It takes me all over the snowy trails at my local ski area (I ride at night when they are closed). FYI

Have you checked out the Himiway bikes. https://himiwaybike.com/collections/ebikes

As a teenager in the mid 70's I was into CB radio. Back then you were supposed to have a license to chat on air, but I was too young for a license and because I was afraid of getting into trouble not having one I applied under my dad's name to get one (he never knew) KBHF5883, I used to chat on...

That DEVO one from SNL looks like Debbie has no legs.

When I was in my 20's and indestructible I did a face plant off my mtn bike into the street with no helmet. Spent some time unconscious, when I woke up there were people standing all around me....blah blah...I lost my site for about an hour, was a bit scary and got 8 stitches around my eye...

Are there really e-bike specific helmets? Doesn't make much senses to me since both bikes under normal conditions go about the same speed. If this is true it sounds like a marketing ploy.

Hmmmm, climbing hills usually eat battery but you also want long range. Without really knowing how bad your knee is, for better climbing power you need a mid drive, but you also have to be able to pedal to utilize this. If you can rent a bike to test, this might help you understand how the...
