Well, if it works for you, then it works = ) don't end up changing off if you don't need anything more. On the other hand, if you long for being able to do more, go for it of course

Geebee, the thing about these things is that they're just not a great product in general. His concerns spur from their inability to safely or properly compete in the scooter class, while passing themselves legally in another vehicular class altogether - even while they're not really e-bikes.

Thats where my bone to pick comes from, so to say. These scooter bikes are just poor design. Too weak to truly enjoy as an electric scooter, too cumbersome and poorly designed to be enjoyed as a bicycle. A lot of them are of questionable quality. I'm often intrigued as to why there is a crowd of people who buy *bicycles*, then strap them with jury rigged motors and go through all the trouble, just to avoid pedaling.

There are some quite nice scooters and mopeds out their that feature the same mobility, but with a purpose designed chassis, safe, comfy, and practical. I don't consider people who don't make an attempt to enjoy the bicycle in e-bike to be e-bikers, rather they're scooter owners who are legally obligated to have pedals in order to avoid registration costs.

There's no elitism in what I want to see: I respect anyone's desire to have an alternative form of transportation. But i'd like to see proper equipment being offered to those with the desire, and so many of these vehicles just don't cut it.
