The ebike class 1/2/3 concept is stupid puritan nonsense driven by cyclist jealousy and serves only to limit the usefulness of ebikes as car replacements.

    My EUC tops out at 55kmh/34mph and it's still not fast enough for the times I'm forced by bad infrastructure to contend with cars

        Ebikes should just be unregulated motorcycles I can take on the bike path

          what bike lanes really need is people going 35mph on a vehicle that weighs >50lbs

          i would love to be biking on a non-ebike and have a teen hit me at 65 mph headon because they just got a new toy

            Yes, I too would prefer that to the same teen hitting me in their new car

              Both would be terrible, I think limiting the chances of both of those terrible things happening is good

          Id prefer if bicycling was safe and accessible for the general populace, rather than the playground of some motorhead. There's plenty of racetracks and dirt paths available for off-roading or high-speed motorism
