Good! Back to the situation of “I need to use the strength of my legs to accelerate”, much safer

I give this two weeks until a hacker bricks every ebike on their network.

ummm, what?
QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 6 months ago
E-bikes can replace cars in far more situations than regular bicycles can.

Exactly this. Foolish ideas from someone behind a desk.
Nerds and hackers will win this easily.

Nerds and hackers will also win any battle in removing top speed limitations. The issue we’re having right now is that non-techies also have easy access to 60 km/h death machines because they can just buy Chinesium fatbikes with 1kW motors and a preinstalled throttle.
If they start requiring helmets you’ll see this fad die down real quick. As it’s mostly children (or uncivilized adults) buying these to look cool and cause trouble.
