    Some are close to light motorbikes too. Hey gramps, go drive a motorbike without helmet or knowledge!!

      Yeah I have a friend who owns one that is much more powerful than a motorbike. Dude gets in full biker gear (including backplate and motorcycling helmet) to drive it at full power

      I see so many super old people on ebikes and non of them wear a helmet, ever. I saw 2 blood puddles at the side of the road with an old person and a bicycle on the side of the road in the past two years.
