Why Electric Bikes are More Dangerous than Motorcycles
Collapse

-
Much of what the video addressed applies to the electric scooter craze we all had in 2019. Part of the reason cities ordered them off the streets was the injury/death rate among users. Another was the carelessness/stupidity of the milliinoals using them. But possibly the main reason was the fact that the companies renting them swarmed into the cities without getting official permission/being approved by the voters, and literally inundating street corners and sidewalks. Dozens of them (or more) were abandoned far from pick up points, or thrown away in creeks, culverts, etc , making them a virtual eyesore.
I remember seeing a few drone-shots of literal acres of abandoned/ broken e-scooters in China in an article about them.
Then there is the same complaint as to electric automobiles and trucks....pedestrians cannot hear them coming, making them a health hazard (this also applied to the e-scooters and earlier e-bikes that had been banned).
