Better buy class 3 while we can!NBC just doing a story about how much more dangerous ebikes are! They are saying they are 3 times more dangerous than normal bikes! I can just see the new legislation coming down the panic pipe now!
Doesn’t mean they couldn’t make it illegal or more restricted after you buy it.Better buy class 3 while we can!
I think he is referring to grandfather clausesDoesn’t mean they couldn’t make it illegal or more restricted after you buy it.
No. But if you can’t blame it on the ebike, you’d have to blame your high-priced talent for his breaking his back.Do you really think he was riding fast in his courtyard?
But what's the driving force behind the aversion? Given the added cost of an e-bike I'd think it has more to do with an awareness of the cost of the bike than anything else. As in, taking greater steps to secure it from theft because of how much it cost. Or keen to avoid injury being familiar with the potential added risks. I'd venture once the price on eBikes drops we'll see an uptick in injuries. But given the continued theft rates of regular bikes I'm not sure eBikes would see any decrease, perhaps rather the opposite.The company says that they attribute the lower risk seen by e-bike riders to such riders being more risk-averse."
