    These types of e-bikes really remind me of the mopeds of the 70s and 80s. The pedals were all but useless and were only there to meet regulations and may be used in an emergency. If the engine died and you were on perfectly flat ground, that is.

    They look kind of fun, but they’re as much bicycle as a a Cybertruck is a truck.

      Doesn’t seems nice to pedal though, with the sitting position that low, combined with the likely heavy bike, you won’t pedal far with it. You’d wish there’s no speed bump on the route lol
