@fuck_cars Something I wish Australia would change is laws prohibiting any vehicles between a 200W ebike and a full motorcycle. I’d get a lot of value from a 60kmph limited 1kW ebike. But currently to sell such a thing it would have to comply with all motorcycle requirements, and things like ABS on both wheels is really not required for such a device.a

    @LovesTha @fuck_cars at what point do you need better-than-minimal brakes and lights? What training and what PPE should be required? If Are you a motorcycle rider and so know what 60 on 2 wheels means?

      All of those are wonderful questions that should be answered within the next X months by the appropriate government agency. And of course it’s not just in that state in Australia. We see variations of this in many places around the world.

      So although I think you were trying to ask those rhetorically, actually we all agree with you, those answers should be forthcoming.
