Im not going into the politics, but certain agendas are letting this insanity continue to get worse and worse.

No wonder Londoners leap out the way when I ride past them on holiday.

Yes, they have a flurry of interest now and then, even knocking them off, but it never lasts more than a few weeks before the inevitable approach of..be aware while using your phone.. which clearly means

Its your own fault.

This is having such a negative effect on ebiking as the press always muddys the water between ebikes and electric motorbikes.

I'm forwarding this to my local Department of Public Safety under the title "Great idea for Surron management!".

Of course, it's just a fantasy. Lots of affluent early teens on Surrons and the like here. Imagine the lawsuits in the US— regardless of what little Johnny was doing.

Another fantasy: Send a motorcycle cop over on a Surron to do donuts and rooster tails on their parents' lawns.
 
The law was changed in 2017, allowing police to ram thieves on scooters and electric bikes. They are still trained and do perform this sort of pursuit. There just isn't the shock factor for it to be featured on the news as it once was.

Warning very depressing..


The comments section, which yes is the Mail, is full of calls for banning escooters and ebikes, which have no distinction between Surrons and legal ebikes in the minds of the masses.
