Yes, but they should be treated like vehicles. For all the hated regular cyclists seem to invite, the kids I see on these things are ten times more deserving. And if they wreck doing 35 in the dark with no lights and no helmet? It's not the operator's fault, it's the manufacturer's!

The regulations we have here (and I think in the rest of the EU) are decent: Only pedal assist, capped at 25 km/h (though I would really have liked it to be 30), and no more than 250 W of continuous output.
Anything above those limits becomes a moped or motorcycle. From what I've seen of US e-bikes, nearly all would be mopeds under our laws, and should require license, registration, insurance and helmet use. Of course, it's going to be up to the states in the US to regulate the details.

In most places, the laws change depending on the class of e-bike it is. Class 3 e-bikes are basically little motorcycles capable of going 40 mph. They don’t belong on bicycle lanes or sidewalks. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are just normal bicycles with some motorized pedal assist capable of going about 20 mph. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are not much different than regular non-powered bicycles in terms of their physics or speed. They belong on bike lanes, and depending on the location, can be ridden on sidewalks with caution. They don’t belong on the normal streets with cars.

E-bike riders are all niggers. I've almost been smashed into so many times while towing a bike trailer full of camping gear on the narrow gravel bike trail by niggers on E-bikes doing 30 mph.
fuck them. my bike cost a thousand dollars and counting the trailer and all my gear, I would lose over $4000.00 in equipment if I was smashed into.
I don't want to be crippled if I get thrown over the steep embankments because some nigger wants to drive 30 MPH.
fucking niggers ruin everything. they want to ban E-bikes on the bike trail because of niggers.
E-bikes also mean that niggers are at all the remote camping spots on the trail now that they were too lazy to pedal to before.

e-bikes accelerate the enshittification of everywhere they are used.

Yes, there should be an e-bike league called E1 where retards race around a track at 30 kph and occasionally some punch each other to spice things up.
>street legal
Hell no. Either make these things into motorbikes going motorbike speeds on car lanes like other bikes and mopeds and require a license and plate to drive them or gtfo.

Btw interesting fact: China designed the dimensions of these things (like in OP pic) to maximize head injuries in accidents, so that zoomies get their life ruined when they get into even moderately serious accidents. Normal sized e-bikes less so but they're basically near-moped-speed bicycles where nobody wears a helmet so still asking for trouble and the kind of kids who tend to drive these don't seem to be the best at understanding and navigating traffic either.

When compared with bikes, mopeds or obviously bicycles the head injury rate for tardbikes like OP is like 3x though, according to hospital statistics here in NL.

Also China called them fat bikes for a reason, kek.

bicycles cannot legally be ridden on the sidewalk, if there is no bike path they have to ride on the road near the right edge.
>>
>>543374549
>Why they act the way they do
Because they get to drive a dirt cheap motorbike around at motorbike speeds but don't have to pay tax or insurance on it.

Cars and trucks should have higher insurance prices, they are dangerous multi-ton vehicles with many dual use parts, and often there is no clue what they could be carrying.


I, for one, strongly feel as though we should introduce legislation that increases the annual price of driving any sort of automobile to 100,000$ per year globally.

Rich people are consistently more moral people, this much is a fact that cannot be misconstrued.

Further, it would get closer to matching the climate cost!

That's the law pretty much everywhere. You aren't supposed to ride bicycles on sidewalks because they are legally considered vehicles equivalent to a car or motorcycle.
You can obviously ride bikes on designated bike paths, but not on normal sidewalks. You are supposed to ride in the street.
In many places they make an exception for little kids riding around on their toy bikes because they can't go very fast or far and aren't likely to cause any damage. But if you are an adult you definitely aren't supposed to be hauling ass on a bicycle on regular sidewalks.

I saw a rally with bicyclists to remember the people killed in accidents. You think all of those people were riding alongside cars with helmets or riding with care rather than staying in their bike lanes?
I see too many of those idiots peddling in traffic getting passed by cars going 45MPH. Same with those who don't follow stop signs and lights.
>>
>>543380860
>You aren't supposed to ride bicycles on sidewalks because they are legally considered vehicles equivalent to a car or motorcycle.
This is incorrect. Nowhere in the United States considers a bicycle to be legally a motor vehicle.
You do not need a license plate, registration, car insurance, divers license or any other sort of motor vehicle registration.
Only New Jersey requires such things for E-Bikes.
In nearly every other location in the US E-Bikes are allowed on sidewalks, barring certain local municipalities that have banned them.
>>
>>543380860


Anyone can ride on the sidewalk or on the street. It is perfectly legal to do so globally without incident, regardless of registration.

If someone stops you from doing so, you simply do the like they did to that one fellow, Ukrainian style.

If you get caught up, be sure to have your cyanide capsule.

>Nowhere in the United States considers a bicycle to be legally a motor vehicle.
Of course not, because normal bicycles do not have motors and do not need to comply with the same requirements as *motor* vehicles.
However, they are legally classified as *vehicles*, meaning that general traffic laws apply to riding a bike, giving cyclists the same general rights and responsibilities as drivers of other vehicles. In other words they are supposed to ride in the same direction as other vehicles, comply with stop signs and red lights, it's illegal to drive a bike recklessly or under the influence or hit and run, AND you can't ride it on the sidewalk.
Tell me what state you are in and I can find the exact state statute that makes it illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk there.

Actually I can so fuck off.
Under Florida Statute § 316.2065, cyclists using a sidewalk must follow specific rules:
Yield the right-of-way to any pedestrians on the sidewalk.
Give an audible signal (such as calling out "on your left" or using a bell) before overtaking and passing a pedestrian.
Exercise due care and obey applicable traffic controls when crossing roadways from a sidewalk to a crosswalk.

E-bikes fall under the same rules as bicycles here as well, all classes of them.
