Why do these exist?
to hopefully inspire younger generations to think twice about the need of a car in their life
>>29096409they're fun and practical
>>29096409Why are you posting bicycles on /o/?
>>29096409Serious answer?Instant torque, no noise, and a lack of maintenance.I'm not usually one for electric shit but this actually makes sense for the application.
>>29096409they're dirt bikes that you can ride in the city without pissing people off with brap noises
>>29096409Ch*na trying to circumvent ITAR by disguising their unrestricted warfare as children's bicycles.
>>29096409More chink slop for me to crush with my truck.
To hold up your motorcycle. Mine is a 2 stroke, that one on the useful stand looks like garbage.
>>29096515Why don't you just use a hoist? Are you stupid?
>>29096524I have both. I also have multiple street bikes that sometimes clog up the shop equipment during riding season.
>>29096409so they can run a red and hopefully get hit by the transit bus
>>29096409It lets the old and infirm experience the joys of riding a bicycle.
They are fun and lighter and easier to ride than equivalent gas dirt bike.It's like a transition from mountain bike to dirt bikes, kids who ride these probably have better skills than any of the squids who post on /dbt/
>>29096560>ebike /n/iggers are better than shoomersYou're gay and canadian.
>>29096409great opportunity for urban motocross because of little noise or emissions (unless they catch on fire), lots or urban 'yuths' use them to terrorize old people. I ride a sledgehammer still
When I see these I give them a little boop from the bumper of my truck. They usually fall over immediately because they're cucks who don't know how to operate in the road. They don't have insurance so I just drive away and report them to the cops later. If they don't fall down immediately I give it a few revs and roll them over entirely. Works every time and it feels so good. Hearing the cracking of the shitty chinese frame. The suspension and tires popping under the weight of my American steel. The satisfying gush of fluids from what used to be a bike and the slow pooling of fluids from what used to be its rider. It's my god-given right to drive and I am exercising that right.
>>29096422The EMoto race series show they dont know how to ride. Yes they go fast but shit they simply plow into each other. I skipped thursday mx practice be the weekend had some emoto races and I am not riding practice day with those retards.
>>29096579Boomer humor tier post.
>>29096582>why is this open track day event full of retards with more money than skill?
>>29096587Practice day just means the track is open and there are no organized races that day, but if a race is scheduled for the weekend a lot of people show up Thursday to practice if they intend to race that weekend. Usually there is may three or four electric bikes but on days before a race a lot of electric tards show up and start causing issues. It was like when james stewart first hit the MX scene a lot of black kids bought bikes and just started riding all over the tracks without any understanding of where to get on/off, how to ride properly and they all thought they were going to blast laps and throw sick whips. Lots of amberlamps rides later they started to thin out.
>>29096409Good for poaching mtb trails deep in state parks where bikes are illegal Genuinely fun light weight torque monsters Good for getting deep in the woods quickly and quietly for photography or hunting Why are pit bikes popular?
>>29096604>Why are pit bikes popular?Black people.
>>29096409Retarded nons with brains full of sand and asses full of cum need something to go to their street takeover pride parades with
>>29096582Well, maybe they'll learn after enough crashes/pain.
>>29096627They'll sell it on marketplace and the cycle will begin anew
>>29096632As is the case with a lot of old gas dirtbikes, so many dudes buy a 450 and fucking fling themselves off of it, then never ride it again.
>>29096604>Perfect for sneaking up on a bear and getting bear raped (mauled) to death.This is the price you pay for riding something souless.
>>29096633Only retards drop a 450. Ebikers are all a problem they are inhernetly bad.
>>2909640915 Minute City shills push these on kids to try to corrupt the youth.
>>29096655You don’t go outside much, huh?
For idiot zoomer niggers and their wigger counterparts.
>>29096814Do you think there aren't bears in the woods?
>>29096579cringe
>>29096579
>>29096409E-bikes would be based if the kids would not ride like retards the wrong way down a sidewalk and fuck my whole car up
>>29096409They exist purely to make illegal dirtbiking easierNot that there's anything wrong with that, I all for free travel and all thatBut that's literally the whole reason people buy them
they exist because the bicycle industry is run by kikes who make actual ebikes unaffordable. you can buy an emoto for the same price (frequently lower) and regulatory burden of a pedal assist ebike with equivalent full suspension, and because the moto is so much faster it will be better for getting around. As good as a regular motorcycle in an urban or suburban use case.
>>29096410true>>29096418true>>29096422true>>29096578true>>29096551true>>29096998trueEbikes and small emotos are the most practical transportation option in a city. Most people live in a city. Our cities for many decades were not fit for human life, so you had to commute from the suburbs, so you needed a car for the highway. Now most cities are much safer, they're nice places to live, so you can live in them, so you don't need a car, so we are seeing a resurgence of ultra small ultra practical vehicles. When I was young, Newark was hell. My father would make us duck when we drove through newark since kids in the car would make you more of a target. You're more likely to cooperate and not do anything crazy if you're worried about your kids. Now my children live in Newark, my brother lives next door in Kearny. Same story has repeated itself across the country. Many people don't realize how bad it was in the 80s and 90s.
>>29097017following up on this, I'm seeing imported eride 4 from a dealer (yes it's that youtuber) for 4k, then a trek fuel starts at 5k, marlin starts at 2500 but is a hardtail so not comparable, slash starts at 8k

>>29096409i want one
>>29097004yeah this is basically true. muh surronz don't try to skirt the law (as much) but are shamelessly just electric dirt bikes and are precisely as illegal as shitty gas dirt bikes with no signals/plates/windscreen/mirrors/etc. but the average "motorcycle style" "e-moto" still has vestigial pedals for no reason despite cities all over basically saying "yeah they're just motorcycles now, get a plate NIGGER" and the major companies all made one(1) e-moto series dumb and badly on purpose then gave up, like Can Am and the Pulse (discontinued) the Harley Livewire(unsupported) or the kawasaki whatever hybrid they made that suckedif THEY would just give up on trying to turn them into bicycles and let people admit they are riding illegally they could be good. picrel supposedly does like 70kmh with a rider who isnt fat. even if you only give it 60, you're still able to speed in the city, that's more than enough for casual commuting.
>>29096656>DropRead my post again. They whiskey throttle it and see God before slamming into the fucking dirt well past the landing ramp, or if they're lucky just wheelie over backwards
>>29097265>if THEY would just give up on trying to turn them into bicycles and let people admit they are riding illegally they could be goodif they did that the whole market would ignore them.
>>29097265how the hell does that front wheel rotate with that uh, fender? splash guard? sitting on it?
>>29097018Is a ebike really worth over a regular bicycle, if you don't live in a hilly area?
>>29097814very poorly>>29097566commuters and DUIs already buy high power ebikes and just dont pedal them. i dont see why they wouldnt buy the same object but higher powered and with pegs instead of pedals. and you just order them off of amazon and they come in a crate, they dont check if you have a license when you buy it.
>>29096409For drug dealers to get around slightly
>>29096409>bicyclebut>don't need to pedalcrazy concept
>>29097904We need to ban this NOW! For the SAFETY of our CHILDREN and ELDERLEY who keep getting run over on the sidewalk!!
>>29097828i like my commute taking only 20 minutes instead of like 45
