Wired: What's an Ebike? California Wants You to Know
Cities want to stop kids from getting hurt. A lawmaker thinks warning them away from legal gray-area “e-motos” could help.

You know what recent technical innovation has really enabled my own human flourishing? Fruckin ebikes.
This morning was such a joy and I saw so many parents doing the same as me, taking our kids to school on bikes, which is totally infeasible without a motor added.
We all spent the morning doing something good for our mind, bodies and broader ecosystem.
More of this kind of tech, please!

What are these "decent bikes" that were regulated away?
(Not saying there weren't any, just that I haven't been keeping track so I likely missed them.)
#eBikes -- [and #micromobility generally] --massive take-up, but this could be orders of magnitude more in countries such as UK if they were encouraged to diversify and not continually pushed-back-at as "dangerous toys".
just discovered why the ebike codgers race past me on the trails. Their bikes have 1kw power. Mine is 250W, the legal limit. VicPol: its not just kids that break the law. #ebikes #melbourne

"You can see why I’m not really swayed when “serious” cyclists tell me e-bikes are for lazy people who don’t want to put in the work. I am now a serious cyclist, and I don’t know that I would be, if I hadn’t been able to start with the e-bike. And now the e-bike doesn’t replace my regular bike. It replaces my car." @Skepchick on #ebikes https://skepchick.org/2025/12/e-bikes-arent-the-problem/

A photographer is the obvious candidate for a compact cargo bike. Tasked with carting camera equipment 28 miles, Chris took the scenic route, loaded up for a thorough test of this Ado e-bike.
You may be surprised to find this bike is sold at only £1,699.

Well, this is interesting! The Gouach Infinite Battery, a repairable battery pack system for ebikes that can be retrofitted to many brands of #ebikes. #BikeTooter
Such a hassle, you need special tools and a lift to work on anything under the hood of #EVs
I had to spend dozens of dollars to get this thing in the air.

280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles
E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world.
