The 2 solutions that would fix most of the issues: classifying by voltage as in 60-72 volt bikes being considered mopeds, and the implementation of onboard level 2/3 quick chargers which would keep the bikes light but allow 30 minute charging at tesla and ev stations for longer trips.
I wouldn't call any of these bikes "e-bikes", because it lumps them in with electric bicycles. When people call them that it makes them seem like bicycles to the layman, which can lead to people completely misinterpreting them as a genre. They're really electric pitbikes and electric dirtbikes at the very least. It sort of infantilizes them to call them bicycles.
Calling them illegal off road vehicles will only get ALL ebikes regulated heavily, which people like you fail to understand. You should be pushing for expanded legality which will result in AT LEAST low power ebikes being left alone. Be smart.
@ youre missing the point entirely. These are not, and have never been considered ebikes to begin with. And guess what? They are already regulated heavily. The only reason people can ride around on them is at the discretion of the cops for not pulling over unregistered bikes.
@wallflower15875 no you're missing the point. In declaring that they SHOULD be regulated in an aggressive manner, that movement will encapsulate everything similar to them which is "legal" ebikes. The thing you don't get is that every ebike is illegal by the strictest interpretation of the law. All are electronically limited and every current ebike motor is capable of more than 750 watts both of which are illegal. Yes everything down to the lectric light is a "motorcycle" if you look hard enough into it. So be smart and encourage as wide a net as possible.
I biggest gripe with ebikes is the reliability. While a lot of gas bikes have evolved over the last 30 years, many parts on ebikes are just copied, or using cheap MTB components. They easily fail on a single fall. Were starting to see new era of ebikes with decent brakes, better suspension, and more reliable motors and batteries. Another problem is the battery itself. as time goes by they start to weaken, whether that's the cells failing or just general wear down. You lose milage, and performance over time. much faster than you see with a gas motor.
According to my calculations the average lithium ion battery can bust out about 1000 cycles and then hit 80% battery capacity with good battery management which means if per cycle you get 70km, this means that you'll get 70,000km, I've done 11,000km on my bike in the past year and bike is at around 96.5% battery health, by only charging to 90% your able to effectively double your charge cycles ❤
Even after this the bike will still work just only have 80% if not less battery capacity left, so the only real concern would be the drive train and motor,
Tampa FL over here I got a motor goat v3 that goes as fast as a stock surron and talaria haven’t had issues with cops either although my bike has pedals
there's a PEV ride group in Tampa I saw when I used to live there, you should check them out Cops usually don't care as long as you're on the right side and not doing wheelies, you can be going 40mph tbh they don't rly care about speed

I love my talaria but i would classify it as an emoto I feel much more at home on my Ecell (e-bike) on the public roads

i love these video were its riding and talking about stuff keep up the good work
Farmington impounds now too
@@krocket5331 hate to hear it smh
My issue with them is almost exclusively legality
E-bikes biggest problems - Karens
Forgot to mention this one lol
I agree 💯💯
nah it’s idiot riders
then karens
True bruh, I keep getting honked at by stupid ass car brains

just ordered a stark varg, you think ill have any problems with cops in south west florida?
@@Big_ray14 nah just don’t be stunting around cops they’ll leave you alone

The biggest problem with e bikes is government interference. God Forbid they don't get a cut of everything you do
@@corywebb5537 love that rn we can still purchase them directly and avoid dealerships too
Range
i didnt know capitol hill was in utah?
Probably more capitol hills
