    I was not alienated by poor behavior of a subset of e-bike riders, so you can rest assure I will keep advocating electric bicycles.

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    Do you remember the coronavirus era laws? The people who made all those laws and restrictions believed they do good stuff making all those laws and restrictions. But it made only their personal life better, not the whole society. You might be OK with e-bikes restrictions and limitations and...

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    Some people mistakenly think that if you do not have a licensing system for e-bikes you can kill people with e-bikes without legal consequences - it is not true. The same people mistakenly think if they will have licensing for e-bikes it will make the society life better - it is not true too. It...

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    If it is not an argument for not having laws then it is not an argument for having laws. Have you ever asked yourself why some laws exist and some do not exist? You can wish to law as much as you want but if the law does more bad than good this law will not exist. And regarding those death...

    We need either allow motorcycles on MUP or do not equalize electric bicycles, scooters, skateboards, one wheelers etc to motorcycles.

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    OK, I didn't think about it until now. Where do I mound the rear brake lever and the seat post dropper trigger? This 3x3 twist gear shifter moves everything in the middle of the handlebar away from the grip. Is there like shorter handlebar grip for the right side and regular size handlebar for...

    Children and young teens, and a few immature adults is not enough problem for licensing, governing, enforcing it and putting another limitations for the whole crowd. Licensing is bigger problem itself.

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    How about allowing those high speed capable e-bikes on highways so they will do what they do there and won't bother you where they bother you right now?

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    Agree. Imagine how less harm would be if we banned cars completely and just used acoustic bicycles! Approximately 3,700 people die in car accidents each day worldwide! Almost 20,000 people died in car accidents since this topic started! We need to do something, ban the cars and force everyone to...

    The Future of eBikes: How Fast is Too Fast?

    Insurance companies are in business of making money. If they believe covering e-bikes relater liability won't make them money they will not cover it. There are multiple reasons they believe insuring e-bikes related liability will not make them money.

    Sure, and that's fine. But there is no need to add more restrictions on e-bikes, especially if you believe you can win the legal battle.

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    The Problem Solvers Two-Pulley Chain Tensioner (remained from the Kindernay kit) does not fit because of the cog is too big (I purchased the smallest 3x3 cog with 24 teeth but it is still too big). I need to find a bigger chain tensioner or modify the one I have, or figure out the derailleur...

    New High Torque IGH announced by 3x3

    The rear brake caliper mount post interferes with the torque arm (on Dengfu e55 frame). I had similar issue with Kindernay VII and I ground off some material from the torque arm to make it fits. But the interference with 3x3 torque arm is bigger and would require removing too much material from...

    The question The speed limits, licensing procedures and regulations for motor vehicles are already set, but 99% of people speeding anyway regardless of all those regulations and licensing. So the answer is no, high speed capable e-bikes should not be regulated any more than it is right now...
