E-bike plus trailer and I can transport 5 kids. Try doing that with your mid-sized SUV.
I am very smug on my e-bike with my two kids

It's obsolete. Cursive is basically just another English font now. As long as you can READ it, you're good.
How mamy oomfs can still read and write in cursive? Is this truly a dying skill? I'm appalled

Licensing doesn't make car drivers any safer. Licensing for ebikes and scooters would do nothing except throw up a monetary barrier that neuters them as viable transportation for low income people. The poor get screwed over...again.

Testing a new bush/SAR ebike configuration.
Looks like heated seats, heated trailer and powerful searchlights will all work.
We'll be refining this proof of concept further.

Increasing highway capacity won't help Toronto's gridlock at all, because the streets that feed in and out of the highway will have the exact same capacity as before. A tunnel would be just chucking billions of dollars into a black hole.

Certainly don't buy an e-moto for any unlicensed road use, but "don't buy an e-moto for teens?" C'mon.
When I was growing up kids (myself included) had dirt bikes at like 14. Know your kid, know their abilities. Dirt bikes (electric or otherwise) on dirt bike trails is fine.

‼️ As the holidays approach, devices with electric motors - including e-motos - are the wish lists of many children and teens. This message is to all parents, grandparents, fun uncles, and others who are buying gifts – DO NOT purchase an e-moto for a child or teen ‼️🚫

It's getting cold out, so make sure your ebike is ready.
- Allow your battery to warm up to room temp before charging.
- If reduced range is an issue, consider a neoprene sleeve or a warmer for your battery.
- NEVER CHARGE YOUR BATTERY COLD!!
- Consider studded tires.

Saw it with Ty in a packed Imax theater. Can confirm this is how you should see it if you haven't yet. If you like music, you'll like this.
still can't believe how fun it was to watch the sing-along "k-pop demon hunters" in a theater FULL of kids. utterly delightful from beginning to end and with just the right amount of chaos. 10/10, would do again (and i absolutely did not expect to feel that way)

Very important point here.
The recent anti-ebike propaganda push has NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY.
It has everything to do with preventing ebikes from becoming a serious competitor to automobiles.

someone had a physical therapist who was being all cool and friendly, and then one day, he spotted an e-bike in the next room, and the hostility began, calling an obvious e-bike as a 'motorcycle'.
understand, e-bikes represent a challenge to fossil fuels and cars, which MAGAts own stock in.

I usually go to Toronto by rail, but we had a work conference and a co-worker drove us down.

Being in a car turns a normally delightful city into a nightmare. How do they live like this?? They should be backing dump trucks full of money up to public transit and bike lanes.

You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on an ebike. There are entry-level ebikes that are perfectly acceptable for fair weather commuters.
I bought my daughter one of these Phoenix ebikes. Proved to be a reliable mount all summer long. Less than $800 CAD!
