I object to the vicious attacks against gasoline motor assisted bikes with similar performance and functionality to e-bikes.

I will put the exact same question to you that I put to another #$^%R^#% piece of @#!#%&(*^&^% worthless @%^$&^)*&^ I caught in the act of slashing the tires of my motor assisted bike that uses a 25cc Subaru Robin motor that exceeds CA emission standards (strictest in the U.S.) and will meet the even more stringent Euro and Japanese standards:

"Would you prefer I drive my truck instead and burn 15 times more gas and produce over 15 times more emissions instead? If you are slashing the tires on my motor assisted bike I sure hope you slashed the tires on every car and truck in this parking lot before you messed with my bike !!!!!"

The individual in question was arrested and was taken away in handcuffs by the cops and I did press charges against him and I did go after him in small claims court in addition to the criminal charges.

Done correctly using an efficient and clean burning modern four cycle motor a gas motor assisted bike produces LESS emissions than an electric car if the electric car is charged using a standard mix of US grid power.

Dude - get a clue, one would think you would be tickled pink that someone is reducing their gas usage and emissions footprint by several orders of magnitude and you don't need to get your panties in a twist because they didn't reduce them as much as you did with your e-bike and be happy that it is one more car off the road.

I will also ask - please enlighten us as to what you use to charge your batteries and what the footprint that generates is.

I have pedal only bikes (plural) that I use as transportation proper, I have e-bikes (plural) that I use as transportation proper, and I have gas motor assisted bikes (plural) that I use as transportation proper . . . and yes I do also have a truck and a car. I use what is appropriate to cover my needs for a particular trip for a particular purpose. As of yet I have not yet figured out how to bring home 3-tons of feed on a bike in a single trip. I have also yet to figure out how to make an e-bike travel 100-miles non-stop through the teeth of a blizzard in sub-zero temperatures - I know for a fact that my bikes equipped with small efficient clean burning gas motors that burn many times less gas and produce many times less emissions then a full size vehicle will do that when asked to do so because I have done it and I don't get fat and lazy either.



I'm sick of you scum and your vicious vandalizing ways - I ought to kick your teeth in, I nearly did to one of your kind already and I would have if sounder judgment hadn't prevailed and the scum was led away in handcuffs instead.

Oh - yah - I've also had pedal only bicyclists vandalize and sabotage me e-bikes as well. I hate scum like your kind, you won't let a guy try to do the right thing with free will freedom to do it the way of his choosing - you know it all, your way is the only way that is right anything else and you just have to stop him (or her) by hook or by crook.

Don't you understand - your slimy vile attitude against gas motor assisted bikes that use far less gas and produce far less emissions then cars is no different then the attitude of those that made e-bikes not street legal in NY. You're complaining about someone kicking you because your different while at the very same moment doing the exact same thing and kicking someone else because they are different. What utter despicable tools you are.
