Rich guys buying super expensive 45kph ebikes and crashing them because they're just not used to the speed. That and some of the brakes on these 40kg bikes are woefully underspecced.

Hairy Posted August 11, 2020 Share This certainly is NOT an ebike .... Electric motorcycles really should get their own thread ... and go ride On motoX trails ....I agree I have seen similar bike on the cycle lanes before hammering at stupid speeds with the rider not pedaling. Chatted to one of the guys before on the bike I mentioned above, and he noted they had taken their bikes to a good couple of the local trails already, inc Tygerberg, Jonkers and Delvera.

Eldron Posted August 11, 2020 Share And so is moto-x .... This baby just happen to be a moto-x bike without the ring-ting-ting..... And about 80kg. Electric is just damn torquey. It's like a 2-stroke in the power band all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted September 11, 2020 Share eBikes (riders) are becoming a bigger issue in the commutes to and from work here.They are going 20% - 30% faster than the rest and this creates some challenges when you are sharing bike lanes with hundreds of other cyclists.
