You can't legally take motorcycles to some of the places you can take an ebike, at least in my jurisdiction.
I imagine motorcycles also have more overhead (in terms of both time and money) when it comes to registration, licensing, insurance, maintenance, etc.
- subpixel 5y agoIsn’t that probably as it should be? Hikers shouldn’t be asked to share trails with powered vehicles that can be tweaked to go very, very fast.
- Zak 5y agoE-bikes can also be tweaked to go very fast. In many jurisdictions, they're restricted to performance well below that which a competitive cyclist can achieve on a purely human-powered bike, but enforcement is difficult.

- Rebelgecko 5y agoSure, but IMO that's a reason why motorcycles aren't strictly better than ebikes
