    More evidence that we’re getting closer to the future Wall-E predicted every year.

    From what I’ve briefly read China (and many other countries) have regulated that e-bikes must be under a certain weight (55kg) and top speed (25km/h) and anything over that is no longer considered an e-bike but rather a moped/motorbike that needs everything a motorbike would require i.e you have to get a licence to drive it and registration/plates.

    It sounds resonable to me as the lines between an e-bike and e-motorbike got blurred real quick. Besides there’s no way these wheelchairs are faster or more convenient than even a regulated e-bike?? Or am I missing something?? I guess you can ride them right into your office/up to your desk…

    Doesn’t China have days long traffic jams? I would think regulating e-bikes in a positive way would help the situation for everyone.
