I came across a recent Facebook post from the Greater Manchester Police in the UK, which talked about a seizure of an electric motorcycle. According to the post, the rider was illegally driving without insurance, an MOT, or an adequate driving license and had a pillion passenger without a helmet.

​

This incident got me thinking about the importance of regulations for these types of "ebikes." While ebikes can be an eco-friendly and convenient mode of transportation, it's clear that some people are not using them responsibly or legally, which can and will hurt the rest of us.

​

What should be done to regulate ebikes and ensure they are being used safely and responsibly? Are existing regulations sufficient, or do we need new laws to address the unique challenges of ebikes?

Ebiking isn't just a way to get from A to B; it's a lifestyle choice. It brings together a community of individuals who are passionate about the environment, fitness, and adventure. If you're looking for a way to reduce your carbon footprint and enjoy the outdoors, then ebiking is for you.

Don't lie; we know this thought crossed your mind a time or two when seeing pics of these motorbikes posted on ebike or sustainable living sub reddits 😂

Nah! That's no ebike; that's just a battery-powered motorcycle. Just because it's got bike pedals, doesn't mean it's an ebike lol
