I guess London is not going to feel any difference - every other ebike is already run on a throttle and 5-600W motors. Cat’s out of the bag at this point, I suppose, but it really pisses me off when they’re whizzing around at silly speeds looking down at their damn phones.
Better on a bike than in a larger vehicle.
Huh? This is such a useless comment. Says nothing and yet creates an excuse for idiots.
Murder is also better than mass-murder, yet I don’t think anyone would ever use such statement to justify it.
Amps are far more important to the UK than top speed, 250w is great for Norfolk, but I imagine people in Sheffield would disagree. Whilst I don’t use a throttle on mine there’s been times I could have used one, esp when getting a leg injury from mad hill climbs on my commute so I would imagine someone with a chronic issue this would be a game changer getting out the house doing daily tasks etc. Shame that two bodies that should be championing more people on bikes are fighting it. It won’t stop kids on Surons wheeling into prams, but it will leave bikes in the shop/garage.
I don’t get ebikes with throttles. It’s basically moped at that point
Now I don’t agree that mopeds should be so heavily regulated but basically it falls into the same category, only that one is powered with electricity and other is ice
