Panorama - Worth Watching Re Ebikes

[barry1010]

Just watched tonight's episode, it's quite frightening. 

Annoying especially is that people can buy ebikes too powerful to use through the government Cycle to Work scheme.

Any bike that is not solely powered by pedalling should be insured, have a number plate and the rider licensed in the same way as mopeds, scooters and motorbikes.

I don't encounter many ebikes where I live, have you had any problems with them, or do you have one and love it?

I've had one for over ten years and never had an accident.

I do now have to watch out for moron car drivers who have no idea about the new 2022 highway code changes.

Red light jumpers in cars are also very dangerous. Had a few heated debates with those particular morons when they get caught in traffic at the next set of lights.

Lucky you. Jack is done about it here.

clone, red light jumpers in cars are rare compared to cyclists and scooters, push or lecky. They never stop for red.

I doubt it's moron car drivers who have no idea about the new 2022 highway code changes. It was the morons that put in the changes, presumably to ensure maximum risk to everyone. Likelihood is the drivers reckon treating that ridiculous action with disdain is the best way to get it reversed when someone sane takes over responsibility for that guide.
