Yes, it's more dangerous. No one said it's not. No one even mentioned safety until you brought it up yourself.
If you want to bring up safety: great! Go for it! But no need to start calling people "delusional" right from the bat.
- moonchrome 4y agoBut that's the worst part about bad weather - you have to ride much slower and be on high alert - so you're in shitty conditions for even longer - and ebike only makes that worse. For some reason people on ebikes don't realize that they are riding on a shitty motorcycle and how risky it is to remove speed restrictions/zip around traffic on those things - at least that's my impression of the few friends that really got into it. And the accident rate statistics seem to back my impressions.
- Beltalowda 4y agoSure, I understand your point; it's a perfectly reasonable. My gripe was with the "that's delusional".
