Just what we need more regulation. How about this, stop pushing not ready for prime-time products?

There seems to be a lot of bikes in Manhattan. The bike rental share thing, ordinary and E-Bikes, seems way more popular than DC. Maybe simply just because there's more people? Most of the bike courier delivery folks seem to also be using E-Bikes or hybrid pedal/battery bikes.

I want to just say, I hope you know I enjoy sparing with you. I take none of this personally. Unlike with Yamm who I enjoyed but started name calling and alike.
As for the E bike the delivery people use them because they are cheaper than a scooter and do not require plates or insurance. I think they should be not be allowed to be sold until they can get the batteries right.

Not really. Batteries catch fire because they are poorly designed or cheaply made or both. No, Spartz, as much as I know you Canadians like your socialist big government, regulation isn't the answer to everything

Not sure Canadians specifically like socially focused governments any more or less than many other folks.Not really. Batteries catch fire because they are poorly designed or cheaply made or both.

So for the cheaply made and poorly designed EBikes that everyone wants and are getting, just let the demand run its course until those foreign companies develop into being the sole suppliers?

The issue is people who use them for work really have no choice. Until the government gets its head out of its *ss people will continue to be burned to death

Who cares? It's like worrying about beans. Milk. Bread. They're all commodities. Who. Cares.

Let people use common sense. Literally, Darwin Award. The government nanny state just dumbs a society down and kills individual critical thinking skills.

Sure. However, others would say that's not wise, due to too many people going to die, and also just a continued flood of Chinese goods.

I guess no one cares, but then not sure why the thread was created.

So the government is causing all these people to want EBikes?

Hence the Darwin award. Personal accountability for your actions. People need to grow up and thinning of the herd as in natural selection does have societal benefits.

I think the Admiral friend was basically saying that the west is going to be casualty of a Darwin Award, consumed into and overtaken by China, if people and Governments don't wake up.

Consumed by China? You must be joking. I once observed a PLA type in Hong Kong (before it was handed back).
The guy was served scones (we call them muffins), jam and cream, a British tea time staple if ever there was one.
He ate the scone first. Then the jam. Then the cream. Solely. On their own. In that order
. With that sort of training, it'll be like a rerun of Desert Storm.
