From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.
That’s true. We don’t have throttle-controlled bikes here because they are legally considered mofas, but mofas with pedals basically don’t exist here so there’s no overlap.
Most of them that say that to me are superhuman athletes.
There’s no ebike with a hundred mile range, and these guys are doing 24 hour races and cross country tours. So after a short while it just becomes a lead weight in the frame.
Only semi-related but: The only people I’ve heard say e-bikes aren’t real bikes are people who don’t own bikes of either kind.
My primary mode of transportation is a bike and IMO not all e-bikes are real bikes.
Pedal-assist sure but if there is a throttle (and pedaling is optional) then I consider it a moped.
Not that I’m opposed to mopeds…

What’s a mofa ?

Nope. I own four real bicycles. Electric motorcycles are not real bicycles.
No one was talking about electric motorcycles so that checks out.
Ebikes are electric motorcycles.

Single track vehicles that use motors or engines to move are motorcycles.

Nothing here backs up your statement.
I hope you’ll make it through whatever you’re going through! ❤️
Park your motorcycle inside
I don’t own any motor vehicles :)
A motor is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Do you own an ebike with an electric motor in it?
I chose my wording very carefully to avoid confusing you and yet you manage.
No, I don’t own any vehicles propelled by motor.

There are quite a few ebikes with 100+ mile range, you only need maybe 1500-2000Wh to do 100 miles.
