Is it the kids fault? Maybe but do we really know who was at fault here? She would've died from her fatal head injury anyway because she wasn't wearing a helmet.

Imagine discussing car bans whenever someone dies in a car crash. Talking about E-Bike bans is absurd. I think US E-Bikes are to fast for kids. Take the throttle away and make them 25km/h max like in the EU. But banning the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly way of commuting because of safety concerns? Build safe infrastructure and work on safety-regulations instead (like basically every other country on this planet does).

That is sick. I know what the consequences are, because saw what happened in Korea. I oppose to "regulating" the speed such as EU, and it is not matter in this situation. Most people, and some country did same mistake, but I doubt that will be effecting to "safety" issues. If there is necessary, it can be "regulated" by LEO, not the electrical or mechanical limit. The bike are using several different situation, and need a several different levels of power. And most likely, that is not affecting. The Korean change the speed limit of 25km few years ago, but there is no decrease of the accident, and I think it quite increasing. The Korean politicians are misleading the cause and effect. Instead, I suggest just educate kids in the school. The license is, I feel somewhat unfair, because the motorized cycle under 50cc still does not need a license and registration in many place. But it is necessary to make an education for kids who want to ride e bike in the everyday commute. The funny thing is, licensing is another thing that Korean did recently, not for an e bike, for the e scooter. The result is, accident is not decreasing as same as an E bike case. So, it is very sensitive issues, and we do not know the "regulation" will be effect or not. I somewhat agree partially, if you said 250w/25km limit for "kids" bike, like under 14, but I doubt the regulation is working in this situation.

@andrijnovak6367 5 ай бұрын

@@Right.To.Resistance The point is you need to draw the line somewhere. 25km/h is plenty fast for kids and regular E-Bikes. You want to go faster than that with your E-Bike? You can do so in the EU - just get an S-Pedelec. However you need to be 15, have insurance and a license and wear a helmet. I understand that some people especially in the US are allergic against any kind of regulation, but there is a reason there isn't any developed country in the world with more traffic deaths.

@@andrijnovak6367 The Point is, we did, and failed. There is no perfect figure because every each environment is different. And in my opinion, it is wrong line. There in tons of differences between each countries. I do not know, europeans are wanting to just living that way, Anyway, I could go as fast as I can with my e bike. I'm already M2 holder, and ride motorcycle and e bike both. And also, if I want, I could make my e bike unclassified as moped or motorcycle. No need to worry about helmet, because I have plenty of that all DOT certified. ECE is not working, useless in here. But, the point is, I'm not selfish enough that regulate something because I don't care, especially useless way. As I told, EU version of regulation was already failed in Korea. I'm Korean who live America, so I know both. So, I can tell you, you draw the line in the wrong parameter. If e bike need to be regulate, it must be useful way, in here. There is many people who using E bike for delivery service, and EU style will cut them off, as same as Korea. I don't know how the regulation working in the european cities for commercially or utility purposefully, but I really doubt it is working in here. Any way, go to liberal cities and explain to democrat who want to globalism or EU friendly. If you guy will be success in there, you guys will have a chance to people. But as I told I bet 7:3 failure. So, good luck with that.

@Right.To.Resistance 5 ай бұрын

@@andrijnovak6367 In addition, as I told, Korean did same regulation because of complain from some cyclist and pedestrians. So, we adopt your idealistic ways and, as I told to you, it was FAILED. The reason of failure is, E-bike is only useful for personal transportation with 'SLOW' speed, and there is no practicality for commercial or utility purpose. There is almost zero to use e bike as a delivery tools. Instead, delivery guys still use engine scooters. It should be replaced massive city like Seoul, but the realistic of EU style regulation is, cut the power off and make a tool useless. Everybody knows, the e bike delivery is better for urban area's air pollution much more than traditional moped scooter. But, as I told to you, the regulation cut their balls. Not only for the delivery issues, but also it makes failure of personal transportation. In Korea, the cycle lane is quite limited, so e bike or e scooter have to be driven with a car in the normal road. Now, this is the point. if the condition of road is, a massive scale and almost endless, probably eurocentric regulation will work slightly. but still not very useful, and as I told to you, the road condition in the US is, very diverse. It could not be regulated in one way, especially only european specific ways. And about the license, as I told to you, I'm M2 holder,. so no license required to me. I have same license in Korea, called category 2. And the problem? such as Sur Ron case, in some ways, DMV refuse to register vehicles. The reason of some Sur Ron riders put the pedals on their bike and say the bike is an E bike is, they could not register the bike because of the system. It is probably different between each DMW, but the other reason that we could not, and should not regulate as your idea is, we are not preparing yet. I do not care, because as I said, I can just by electric motorcycle and replace that if I need an electric vehicle, such as avoiding noise ordnance of night time from sensitive neighbors. But as I told to you, I'm not selfish enough.

I learned the hard way you should test your bike somewhere else.. my bike will Top out at 24 but I know it can go faster that is fast enough for me some people are going 80 or 100 Mi an hour down the road it is true insanity...... I knew this was coming and it's going to really freaking suck that is what I think

Banning e-bikes or any other kind of vehicle is not a solution. Cycling education can also be worthless. Afterall, driving education hasn't improved people's driving throughout the decades. I do feel that e-bikes, e-scooters, and many other motorized vehicles should be age restricted to at least 16. If anyone under 16 needs transportation, conventional (pedal non-electric) bicycles are available. Society is acting as though everything is wrong with regular conventional bicycles. 🙄🤦‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I've been cycling for over 20 years and can attest that everything that can be done on an e-bike can be done on a non e-bike. Hills are a little harder, but that's about it. Why do kids need to be zipping up and down the streets at 20+ mph? Their brains are not fully developed for awareness and stragetic roadway riding at fast (20+) speeds. I also blame government bodies for not immediately enacting specific laws other than the federal government standard. Because of this, many e-bike manufacturers have found loopholes allowing them to build mopeds/cycles (Suron, Billy Goat, Freedom, and other high-performance e-bikes) while still calling them bicycles. Even the lower powered ones can be quite fast (faster than a roadbike). Put one in the hands of a child and well, you know the rest.

@bohurley2051 5 ай бұрын

The focus should be on the kinds of bikes which should be permitted on trails shared with pedestrians as well as the kinds of bikes permitted in bike lanes shared with non-motorized bikes. Pedestrian safety is sufficient justification for limiting ebike usage, requiring licensing, and requiring insurance. Pedestrians should not be subjected to high-speed motorized vehicles in their midst. Nobody would ever suggest that pedestrians should walk down the middle of highways with cars and trucks passing in close proximity at high speed. Thus, the key question for ebikes and other electric transportation is where to draw the line as to how powerful a vehicle can be and how fast it can go if it is to be allowed to operate in the midst of pedestrians. The European Union undoubtedly has the most developed pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure in the world, and has limited ebikes in cycle lanes and cycle/pedestrian trails to (i) a maximum motor-assisted speed of 25 kilometers per hour (15.5 miles per hour), (ii) a maximum motor power of 250 watts, (iii) a maximum bike weight of 30 kg (55 pounds). Moreover, the EU has designated electric bicycles powered at speeds in excess of 25 km per hour as "speedbikes," not "ebikes." Speedbikes are not legally permitted in EU bike lanes or on EU trails. This is not to suggest that all of the EU legislation is perfect for the US, as the US is certainly not the EU. However, the existing legislation in cycle-centric EU does offer an approach which may be a good place to start considering what to do about ebike regulation in the US. Moreover, the EU legislation stands as stark evidence that ebike legislation is inevitable, as ultimately it will, and indeed must, come to pass here in the US. As a fellow cyclist, let us agree that we cyclists need to take the lead in seeking appropriate legislation before there is enough injury that an over-reaction occurs and ebikes are unreasonably limited.

@Right.To.Resistance 5 ай бұрын

We do not need to follow the EU rules. Think about this ways. 1. I address to people, if you follow the EU style, you will kill the E bike delivery as much as you can. The evidence is Korea. There is almost zero person, who use Ebike as a delivery tools, because of the lack of power and torques for the service. I saw some of guys using e bike as delivery moped, and it is good ways for everybody. The small cc single cylinder moped make a lot of pollutions, and we need to replace that. powerful E bike is, fair enough for that(of course, I know the range and charge issues, but it is keep trying and improving now). And as I mentioned, EU regulation will kill that, as same as Korea. 2. I do not know which states you guys live, but some states already have a rule for overpowered e bike, as an unclassified E-bike. And here is deal. We do not need to follow the EU style because we already have a rule, and E bike, although the unclassified as a moped or motorcycle level, they could go to the cycle lane, with the simple change of drive mode. And outside of the lane, on the road, they could use power as much as they can. The problem is, such as Sur Ron, DMV is an issue, not the people. The reason of Sur Ron "E bike" happening is, they could not register the vehicle and putting pedal on the bike is only way to ride that legally. Means, we do not need to adopt really unnecessary rules from Europe, but we need to prepare for executing exist rules. And personally I think the classification of power of unclassified E bike must be changed. For commercial and utility purpose, e bike need to be reaching power of 1500W, and moped must be maintain 1500W~10,000W. It means equal with the motorized cycle. Also I do not think need a license for an E bike, because, some states are not require the license for the motorized cycle or moped less than 50cc. It should be same, and no need to making discrimination to E bike. I guess the condition would be similar, because E bike is weigh as much as under 50cc motorized cycle, with the battery and motors. But, again, following or benchmark EU rule will be a big mistakes. It is not the typical Americanized complaint, and I wish american people are not doing same mistake with us, Korean.

I want to suggest that people need an organization like NRA, which makes a representation of PEV rider's right. I'm not an NRA big fans, but in this case, we have to fight with the law makers and their supporters. It seems really hard to conduct by individual level. I know that it will not easy, because PEV rider population is just a couple of millions. Although 15% of people in this country use an E bike more than once in a week, an actual ownership of e bike is not so many. We have to realize that PEV populations are smaller group, than even the LGBTQ community.(They would be 20 million) And one more thing I'm realized in this moment, cyclists are not our comrade or ally. The regulator and lawmakers are using the gaps between PEV and Cyclist. In this case, if the PEV people are not become an independent, the Cyclist advocate or organization will not making a proper representation for PEV, seems like they could not. And I have to say, Freedom is not Free. Such as gun issues, for keeping our right, we have to refuse and resist to the control freaks. I've never expect to say these kind of comment about the PEV, but there is no way. Don't be compromise, just keep the position and becoming wayward one.

I'm very sorry for you to say this. First thing first. E-bike and motorcycle what you say is probably a Moped. It is different. You must make clear about the classification first, because the moped and "motorized cycle" is different class with the motorcycle. In some case, both vehicle are not driving on the highway or freeway. It depend on the local law. And we are not using stupid pedelc definitions. It is useless and not necessary. And, either having a pedal or not, it can be considered as an E bike. The reason is, almost of all US local law recognized that is Class II. So, you can't blame that if the rider use Class II mode when he operating, because it is functioning as Class II. The point? E bike and PEV is basically a "Multi Class Capable" Vehicle. The drive mode system is limit the speed and power by it's class, and most of vehicles are limiting Class II mode. And either pedal is exist or not, both can be categorized as same as other Class II e bike. If kids or adults use so called 'sports' or "off road" mode in some situation, that could be a problem, but definition is not an issue. You must figure what is what first, and also need to think, here is America, and we do not contain any stupid material from Europe or Canada.

I have to ask this trolls study before spit some word. Having a throttle or not is an issue in the American Law, so go back to your local. This is simple figure. Either pedal is attached or not, 20 limit vehicle is treating as a "Low Speed Vehicle", and this condition make PEV can be operated in the cycle path. So, if really followed the rule, CYCLE is unregulated. Does any cycle on the road have a system to CUT OFF the power if the speed is over 20 mph? All PEV has, but cycle is not. So, logically we have to get rid off the UNREGULATED CYCLE than PEV. So, we are treating the vehicle depend on the speed and control matters, and not care the vehicle has motor or not. The other matter is size, not the weight. So spitting word of "motorized" to Canada, and just be silence here. Non of vehicle classification in any states in US does not care.

In Italy, they also began to ban electric bicycles, and require them to pay insurance and taxes as for regular vehicles with a gasoline engine.

The fact the kid was riding an ebike is irrelevant, she would have died even if he was riding a normal bike. she died when she hit her head after falling, it being an ebike that hit her has nothing to do with it. it's also her fault for riding her own bike without a helmet

we don't even know case specifics yet, for all we know the pedestrian moved carelessly into bikes path. Did the victim have previous health issues? was the bike in the street or sidewalk? looks like bike was laying in the street.

@@CometCycIone there was no pedestrian involved, the woman who died was heading in the opposite direction on an acoustic bike, and hit the 12 year old head on, the only reason the 12 year old wasn't killed was because they were wearing a helmet. it doesn't say which party was on the wrong side of the road though

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNmjnaR1ns_VfZc.html a regular bike can kill also, bike composition shouldn't matter if the driver is careless. Kinda like a gun in the hands of a mentally ill or criminal... I too am a firm believer of self awareness of oneself or safety... I see many people cross crosswalks without even turning their head just have the oh well there supposed to stop attitude. often having earbuds and cellphones in their face, sounds like distracted driving for cars doesn't it?
