I have one that is more geared towards off-roading. It can get to 70mph with ease. I see kids as young as 12 riding these things around town, on sidewalks, into traffic. I almost hit one just the other day, the dumbass pulled right out into oncoming traffic. These ebikes are not toys. I hate that these kids make us all look bad. Stupid fucking parents not paying attention like normal.

I have an e-bike that can do 35 miles an hour on a flat stretch and that shit is terrifying

But it is a bicycle. If the battery runs out, I can still pedal it.

I feel like e-motorcycles need a little bit more regulation to help prevent things like this from happening. Some licensing at the very least.

I can’t fathom the weakness of parenting these days.

When I was 15, I called a girl’s house, and her dad answered. So naturally I hung up, but unfortunately, her dad used *69, and I was ultimately caught.

So my dad dragged me over there and made me apologize. Granted, her dad went a bit too far and kept yelling, so it ended with my dad threatening to literally shove his head up his ass if he didn’t accept the apology and shut up.

These ebikes are not toys.

Don't know if you ever followed the Rad Power Bikes lawsuit story...

One of the aspects of the lawsuit was that the manufacturer allegedly should have done more to discourage kids from ever using the product.
