Ebikes are in a weird territory between bicycles and motorcycles. I occasionally see ebikes clipping along at a rate that would make me a lot happier with a full face helmet and some degree of abrasion resistance and soft armor. I guess this is technically true of bombing down hill on a conventionally powered bicycle as well (which I’ve done many times in shorts and with naught but an aerodynamic hunk of styrofoam strapped to my head). Still, I see ebikes pushing skin-removal speeds pretty routinely. From my adventures in motorcycling, I know that ABS yields somewhere between 30-40% reduction in crashes. I wonder if any of the higher-wattage ebikes are starting to explore those kinds of things? Similarly, I just paid an eye-wateringly high cost for new motorcycle tires, that are marvels of engineering in their own right. I wonder if high-powered ebikes are starting to use high-tech rubber for safety.
