First solve your HOA issue. There's way more places without such stupid law and you should fixate your annoyance on your government and HOA instead of a transportation tool.
Did I say anything about HOA? I'm referring to apartments. As if someone that owns a home would actually shame themselves by riding an electric bicycle when they can get a Tesla.
Obviously you don't know me or my presence online. I don't own a vehicle and haven't owned a vehicle since 2015. I'm a proud BMX flatland rider, thank you very much.
Perhaps consider leaving out unecessary provocations such as "Ahh, car brain, defensive as always, never consider the alternative." and maybe the replies you're getting would then be more polite aswell.
I must admit that's on me, but if that person didn't structure their comment and replies like a sea-lioning attempt, the conversation would definitely be better.
In Finland you're allowed to park mopeds where ever you're allowed to park bikes aswell (as long as it's outdoors)
When I was 15 and had my 50cc scooter I remember the 5 litre gasoline tank lasting me about a week. Yeah it's still burning fossil fuels but at that rate the emissions are quite insignificant. Being 4-stroke it was quiet too and didn't make my clothes smell like exhaust fumes.
Fair enough. Where I'm at on the Gulf Coast in the USA, there's like absolutely nowhere to park bikes outside, other than trying to find a sign or a pole or tree that's out of the way to lock it up to.
And even then, you wouldn't want to lock an ebike up overnight outside, someone eventually will come along and cut the lock and steal it. ☹️
