Teens Are Sticking With E-Bikes Even When They’re Old Enough to Drive
Kids find independence from their parents without the costs of driving, though safety risks remain
Teens are taking to suburban streets across the U.S. while skipping a classic rite of passage: driving a car.
Instead, their families are spending as much as $3,000 on electric bicycles, the battery-powered vehicles that offer the convenience of traditional bikes without the sweat or strain that comes with unassisted pedaling.

Y'all ready to see a bunch of legislature heavily regulating ebikes because car manufacturers sent their army of lobbyists to reclaim a lost demographic?
I'd sooner switch to a bicycle or just fucking walk. So sick of this bullshit.
And insurance companies will lobby to make it illegal to drive without ebike insurance.
I'd love how they plan to regulate people buying their own batteries and wiring them up to their own bikes.
Sounds extreme, but that's the exact same arguments that they use against regulating firearms.
Not too extreme...I made my e bike too lol
