Should a drivers license be a right instead of a privilege?

@MethDozer finally a yes!

@MethDozer Let them h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶k̶e̶ buy e-bikes 🚴‍♂️

@Elessar Ebikes are cool but aren't y'all forced to only have 250w toys that only do 10mph and peddle assist only?

@MethDozer Legally, yes. But just like you have 50cc scooters that can easily do 80mph, the average e-bike easily does 40, at least down here in this lawless land 🙈

@Elessar i don't know if they do 80 mph easily.



But that's dope af. They should be legal at 40mph

@MethDozer Modern four strokes one maybe not, but two strokes ones like the one I used to have absolutely would. They did 50mph just fine with only original parts. However iirc they were brought to 70cc or 90cc so they're not exactly 50cc anymore.

Eh no, not really. Those frames aren't really designed to be stable at that speed, and they already ride like pirates; if they crash into you while surpassing you simultaneously on both sides when you're already at 30mph you're likely to be given part of the blame just because you have the bigger vehicle.

@Elessar 28 is the top legal speed here for unlicensed ebikes. Plenty go 36-40 in unlocked mode. My gas bicycle hits about 50.

@Elessar yeah that all adds up on the scooters. Love me a 2 stroke.
