  • Can’t argue with the base premise. But here in Toronto it’s the ebike wild West. Where no law is enforced.

    Folks are ripping by in the bike lanes on 100lb electric mopeds with throttles and fold away pedals. I’ve seen bikes where the chain is rusted off but the “bike” happily zips past a grandma on dutch bike at 35kph.

    Recently the transit commission finally banned ebikes on the subway because they were lighting trains on fire.

    All I ask is that ebikes are limited to pedal assist and have a weight limit. But I think the genie is out of the bottle.

    Anyway. I’ve got opinions.
