Personally I HATE THESE E-BIKES that masquerade as bicycles. If you can't pedal the ******** bike home on your own power, it ain't a bike.
If you want to ride a scooter, then get your scooter license, and ride a scooter. Just don't pretend you're a motorcycle rider when you're not, by riding a 175 lb. fake scooter on MUP's and sidewalks.
Can you spell POSER???
Let's just hope the Ontario Ministry or Transport bans these abominations at the end of the trial period.
Well Autoworker , time for a reality check. I also ride a scooter style. It is my commuter, I do no own a car.
Had my leg crushed by a cage 4 yrs ago and can not peddle a conventional bike. I love my E-Bike and the freedom it gives me. I can bring home $100 plus of groceries on mine, can you on yours. Or would you prefer I get myself a cage and add to the environmental problems or just waste away staying home not going anywhere.
Scooter style have a nitch in the transportation system and as alternate transportation. So don't go condemning something just because it does not fit into your narrow sighted view of things.
