As Teens Take to E-Bikes, Parents Ask: Is This Freedom or Danger?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Here electric dirtbikes are a problem. They rip around with no lights in the dark, and you can't hear them coming. Things like that make me understand why places like Paris have bike gates to restrict the handlebar width and tyre size of bikes that can pass through
The riders wear no helmets whatsoever, so I'm just currently waiting on that problem to sort itself out 👍
Still infinitely better than hearing a two stroke from half a mile away though
