What is the difference between eMotos (electric motorcycles) and eBikes (assisted bicycles)?

This is what streets should look like. It was four car lanes with parked cars on both sides. There was no space for bikes and the risk of getting doored. The cars were doing 50 mph and no crosswalks. This can happen for your town. Build it and they will come. A four-way stop was replaced by a...

My friend has been riding a bike per year for the past nine years. He has a tendency to go for bikes with odd gimmick features. I told him to go to the local Aventon dealer. It might cost a little more than an internet only bike, but he will have local support and can test ride it first. I rode...

Amazon says it will no longer allow the sale of certain high-speed e-bikes in California following a consumer alert issued by California Attorney General Rob Bonta last month warning about illegal electric bikes and motorcycles being marketed to consumers.

Often on bikes the highest bar on the display showing remaining battery power takes you the most miles. The last bar takes you the fewest miles. What if each bar took you the same number of miles? How would you program that? I am programing a bike right now. It has a 48V nominal battery. The...

They are lumping illegal motorcycles with legal eBikes and want to make them in the whippy image of @Stefan Mikes. Cargo moms with two kids and groceries should be able to leave the car behind and take an adequately assisted bike up a hill to home. This would make their bikes unlawful and...
