E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

Like i mentioned, most of the riders in sauga are late 30s and higher. Not too many crazy youngins in the hobby. A lot of them will test limits of speed, brake, turns, and a handful of them will also be taking them offroad making them even better on paved surfaces.

In toronto there's more of a mixed bag but there are a few that have the top model (inmotion p6) that can reach 150km/h in a "safe manner"
It's weird to explain but it's kinda like the difference of taken a naked motorcycle to 150 vs taking a super sport to 150, erhmm on a track. One feels like you're being tossed around by the wind where as the other one feels planted. And at that level the suspension is also decent quality.

Last weekend there was supposed to be a demo of the other high powered wheel but the dude got stopped at the customs and couldnt come, but a lot of the riders ended up meeting up and still riding.
And then weekly there's a practice in sauga along with (if the weather permits) a small group ride to get newbs accustomed. Also sometimes if you're good/confident enough people let you try their wheel.


Honestly other than the fact that it doesn't require licensing, this gives very similar vibes to the moto scene. You'll have idiot squids ruining it for everyone (saw a group of 50+ on lakeshore wheelieing, taking over all lanes, in the opposite direction when i came back from that event) and those that will ride without causing much distraction/destruction lol
 
I have no idea on the oz situation. If it's similar to the Canada situation where it's a free-for-all and electric mobility users are the worst drivers/riders on the road often completely ignore all laws while operating vehicles that can't legally be operated in public, they brought it on themselves.
Yep - maybe worse in the big CBDs. Loose import rules ...complete free for all prompting the rather draconian crack down.
Fuel shortage making it worse.
Trying to navigate my way to a legal eMoped with the correct mix of speed and range and price.
Getting there in all those parameters tho range still a bit short. I'll continue to ride the miserly CB500F until the tech changes arrive. Seeing that now in price terms....range still short.
