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.
Ahmen to that! These things are not one or the other. They are not a bike, because you can't really pedal them and they are not a scooter because they are so under-powered. I say let's make them legal an electric scooter with more power than the ebike legislation.
