STOP RECKLESS EBIKE RIDERS... Not Throttles!

[@markhecker3221]

I'm thinking its possible to install a hidden pocket remote control speed reduced switch or kill switch when they tried to test the e-bike speed 😁

[@iankeegan5047]

It's called an eggrider.

[@stevecumming6427]

Speaking from experience, a throttle is much safer than pedaling from a stand still. A bicycle will lean from side to side when pedaling & it's possible to swerve into cars while trying to get the foot throttle to engage. Then the pedal assist gives a sudden surge of power that can get a rider off balance & cause crashes. A throttle is very responsive & can be gently engaged for smooth controlled acceleration in traffic surrounded by tons of cars no match in a wreck with a bicycle.

You make some great t points, thanks.

[@IROC-ROB]

I second that 👍

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

bullshit my old ass rides a normal peddle mountain bike and in traffic, no power at all. learn to ride a fucking bike do not cry how hard it is.

[@matthewdenham7398]

You have to have throttle it’s an e bike/scooter and without the throttle you might as well not ride

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Truth...Great job!

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Thanks Bruce!

New law is/was Never about Safety. It's about irrational overreach/over reaction by those who don't fully understand & are misinformed by deluded/diluted media outlets. Good news travels Fast, Bad News travel at Light-speed!....Stay Safe, Ride Safer, Ride Smartly....EVERYBODY!

[@tonydonald194]

You’re right, it’s the bad riders that are causing the problem

[@ebikebert]

More government control.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

What about E Scooters? They must use a throttle. Some go 70 mph.

[@baront.mckinney9574]

Hello fam, u must have seen my message abt yr topic from the other video abt Cali ebike law. Do to the subject of this video, I totally agree 💯 percent. It's the moron riders tht ruin it for those who actually take enjoyment from it. Tht law doesn't only exists in just California. I saw other mentions of around other places. Happy riding fam. 😊

[@oregonebikermark8953]

I appreciate you watching and thanks for the support.

[@baront.mckinney9574]

@@oregonebikermark8953 Absolutely fam.

[@Alan-l3i7d]

I disagree with your helmets for everyone analogy.

[@JAM-zb2vh]

I do not get it why California is picking on E bikes. Yes so people drive crazy on them but some people in cars drive crazy

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Absolutely correct.

[@凸Bebo凸]

I just got in from a ride on the bike path an 4 E Bikes were riding side by side blocking the whole path while I was descending a hill. It's unskilled riders acting like tough guys and causing problems. We are gonna need to go plates and insurance soon to weed out all the thugs.

[@Alan-l3i7d]

@ Shame on you. Speeding downhill is no exuse for being wreckless. SLOW DOWN. You give all of us law abiding bikers a bad name.

[@凸Bebo凸]

@@Alan-l3i7d stop trolling, the fact that you are riding an E-Moped on hiking trails is enough trolling for 5 men, you don't need to do it online also.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

I don't know about your area, but around these parts the vast majority of e bikers are not pedaling at all, most of those cheap bikes can barely reach 15- mph on throttle only. On the other hand, I see tons of human powered bikes going way faster and no one questions them or whether it's safe or not.

[@oregonebikermark8953]

I see many traditional bikes going faster than ebikes as well.

[@凸Bebo凸]

Human powered bikes that go fast weigh 15-18 pounds and take years of training and practice to become fast. You can't compare being smacked by some meat tub with no skills on a 150 pound E Bike.

[@Dashjiro93]

I used throttle sometimes in North Carolina up hill sometimes

[@throne988]

I totally agreed.

[@RPMac]

As you're talking about the problem your not keeping to the right unless theres a bike lane....its a bicycle...keep to the right unless otherwise guided by bike lane. But your right safety regs should be the deciding factor not the engineering ( throttle)of the bike.

[@PaulTammaro]

Mark just came back from a 20 mile New England ride . As I rode on a well defined bike lane with protected barricades , a gas powered moped with a rear license plate stop next to me , I mentioned to him , the best I could it was very cold , you probably should not be riding in this lane . The man did not know and thanked me and moved to the street. So this may just be a lack of understanding with some of the rule breakers .

[@studiosinger]

There’s a unique cartoon cloud at 9:26

[@mrgreen2769]

I don't live in cities that run extremely fast ebikes. I observe and follow road laws including staying on the shoulder, pulling to the side to let traffic go and allowing traffic to turn or go if I need to turn. My ebike does 35mph and in some neighborhoods I still keep the 30 mph speed but slow down if traffic is heavy.

[@Timbodacious]

Don't worry they will get sued over the throttle law above 28 mph not being safe just like they had to end up taking down all of the red light cameras because it made people more likely to speed through intersections causing accidents.

[@SonLe-gh3dz]

Debris in the bike lane is more dangerous in my opinion. They only danger with is whisky throttle, but u get used to that really quick

[@RedBud315]

My friend asked me why bike riders ride so close to the line and I said it is because the cars blow all the junk to the middle of the bike lane and I hate flat tires.

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Like has been said here and elsewhere many times, You can't fix stupid

[@sharksbean]

And Gavin Newsom is stupid!

[@alfasierra254]

I would say just let us put insurance on these pedal less ebikes and scooters that can go over 28 mph. That will solve most issues. They are prohibited on most bike trails and parks anyway. Let us use it on the street and I'll be glad to pay tax and insurance.

[@RedBud315]

I have never considered buying a throttle only e-bike as I feel the whole purpose of riding my bike is for the exercise. Now I am interested in pedal assist because where I live it can get windy where I have the wind at my back one-way and then head on the other. I just want some assistance when that happens. Would the throttle people be happy if they still allowed it up to the 28 MPH? Because I do feel it is ridiculous to not allow that. Any bike going faster than that should be considered a moped or motorcycle. What I don't get with the new law is it says mopeds do not need pedals. All the original mopeds were motor/pedal hence the name. If they didn't have pedals they were scooters or motorcycles. The Surron should be classified as an off road motorcycle since they are so fast.

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Thanks for commenting.

[@richarddkearney]

The reasons given for no throttle are a lot but probably the most important two are: they want to differentiate from a bicycle and a moped. Pedaling to 28 gives more of an appearance of a bicycle than a moped and they believe that is important. The 2nd reason is people pay more attention when they are pedaling. I've noticed that is slightly true but for longer distances. There are about 4 other main reasons but I think those reasons are pitiful reasons so not even going to mention them.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

You should do a video on what you will do if E bikes that go over 25 kph are banned and we adopt the Euro model of regulations. I am very curious.

[@maddie690ify]

Bingo. One bad apple spoils the bunch. Probably best to not ride the dirt bike looking ones. They stand out. Get a normal looking bike and be respectful around people. You shouldn't have a problem.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

A Honda XR150L Motorcycle is under $4,000 ride away cost and gets over 100 mpg. More like 125 mpg. This bike can get over 60 mph. Insurance cost on a little bike can be under $30 a month. Depends where you live. Why not just have a regular lame ass 750 watt electric bike and a little motorcycle? Also there are electric motorcycles you can actually not worry about pedal or throttling speeds. Honda Cub is cool.. Honda Trail 125cc is cool.

[@RedBud315]

I have an XR150 and never got more than 80 MPH on two 50 mile trips at 50-60 MPH. Of course I weight 225+ and after adding weight with accessories I get closer to 68-70 around town but, I do ride it hard because it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. I also put larger carb jet.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

@RedBud315 yeah. 35 or 45mph for most use may get closer to their stated results. Average weight and flat ground is gonna help.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

@RedBud315 The 2023 Honda C125A Super Cub gets an average of 148.4 miles per gallon (MPG). However, actual mileage may vary depending on how the bike is ridden, maintained, and other factors.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

@RedBud315 The average cost of motorcycle insurance in 2023 varied by company, but a liability-only policy for a standard bike cost around $68 per month. A full coverage policy cost around $148 per month. Factors that affect the cost of motorcycle insurance Type of policy: A liability-only policy costs less than a full coverage policy Location: The cost of insurance varies by state Risk profile: The level of risk associated with the rider and the motorcycle affects the cost of insurance Coverage: The type of coverage needed affects the cost of insurance

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

A Honda 125 or 150 is less than this for insurance where I live.

[@reebokprincess1]

I wonder how these laws apply to bicycles that were conversion kits buy the conversion kit turn your bike into a e-bike I live in Kansas and I have two e-bike versions that the bike is 35 to 40 mph our laws are a little more lenient at the moment but that can change

[@precisionlaser2158]

You are correct!

[@christokashiki5503]

I’m going with a controversial opinion. I have ridden both street motorcycles(licensed M 1) and bicycle commuter. When the poop hits the fan, A good portion of people will probably freeze with the throttle open. I can’t even count the number new e-bike riders using their feet as a brake. I usually told new riders to avoid the class 3 with throttle.

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Thanks for commenting.

[@凸Bebo凸]

Nah bro, it's a moped. Keep it off the trails and ped infrastructure, treat it like a moped ride it in the street. Should have license plates and insurance now that you guys are offing 100+ people a year in crashes too. The taxpayers don't wanna pay for your trip to the ER room cause you discovered Mopeds without going to Drivers Ed for them. Everyone that rides those things should have an M2 license, and preferably an M1.

[@oregonebikermark8953]

Can't register it is a moped. They deem it an electric bicycle.

[@凸Bebo凸]

@@oregonebikermark8953 All of them have been skating by under the bicycle moniker for too long. It has more in common with a moped than a bicycle. Hopefully within 1 year they will all need M2 licenses and insurance.

Bruh, regular bicycle riders are wreckless too. And we can go 28mph no throttle no insurance and no registration. LMAO
