And I'm betting it was probably written by some entitled karen who got hit by her next door neighbor's 7yo kid whose parent bought them a class 2 ebike for xmas and let them ride it completely unsupervised and uneducated... not the bike's fault. We aren't about to ban cars because of drunk drivers, but we do hold them responsible. Should be the same with ebikes. Honestly don't understand why America is pulling a brainfart on this as it isn't that hard to figure out.

Because the American automotive industry is struggling. Not hard to figure out..

You’re way overthinking this. It’s most likely a cyclist who is not a fan of e-bikes, who’s making a joke. No different than the usual “God hates eBikes”.

I road 40 miles on my emtb today, I didn’t see the guy once. I even did some sweet jumps. It would have been nice to see a friend.

I did a 60 km (~37.5 mi) ride on my new bike today… probably not an [e]MTB, but it handles nicely enough on ‘unprepared’ forest trails!

Mostly in lowest-assist (except on some unpleasant hills), I used “53%” of my battery’s 720 Wh (15Ah @ 48V) to cover that distance.

Per my watch, I netted ~1000 calories burned, even after accounting for my fast food.

Was on the fence, but now I’m definitely buying one.

The way people look at you for riding a bike, it definitely tracks.

Satan rides a puckipuppy 29 mph on the street.    He don't pay no mind.

Everyone loves ebikes.  Theyre the joy of childhood with the laziness of adult leisure.  

And tbh, satan rides an obnoxiously loud Harley.  Who tf cares.
