    I have written about those elsewhere, but yes, they are the product of limited or lacking guidance on creating and usage of e-bikes. New Jersey, as I imagine you know, is now on a warpath against e-bikes as a whole because of those examples you listed.

    At least they will never look as cool as a two story bicycle.

      And all because impractically wide and heavy bikes you wouldn’t even want to ride on urban streets make it cheaper to install oversized motors and batteries. Impressive how bikes and ebikes are still fighting to be taken seriously but the idiots have already found a way to exploit it for their quasi-legal dream competely unregulated motorbikes.
