My scooter style e-bike weighs 132 lbs with the battery....without the 45 pound lead acid battery it weighs 87 lbs...I don't know of any scooter style e-bike in my neighbourhood that weighs north of 200 pounds. The heaviest is around 176 lbs with the battery. And yes, in BC, for over 6 years now the scooter style have operated in peace on the roads with other motorists and cyclists. There are over 10,000 e-bikes on the roads out there. They are a great alternative to driving and cycling that exists. One less car on the road should be a common goal, and instead Ontario cyclists (not all fortunately) are obsessed with having scooter style e-bikes abolished. ( licenced and insured same thing) If those people took the same energy and focused it on something positive, their lives would be that much richer. If bicycles just came onto the market today, they would face the same negative responses and there would be those (that don't bicycle) that would think they should be licenced and insured, because of their limited speed, their zig zagging behaviour with automobiles and pedestrians, and their all to common rolling stops. I agree 100% with Greywolf that the MUPs are not my concern, but bike lanes absolutely. Lets Share.
