Tempus Fugit
lemmy.world

I have one that is more geared towards off-roading. It can get to 70mph with ease. I see kids as young as 12 riding these things around town, on sidewalks, into traffic. I almost hit one just the other day, the dumbass pulled right out into oncoming traffic. These ebikes are not toys. I hate that these kids make us all look bad. Stupid fucking parents not paying attention like normal.

I can’t fathom the weakness of parenting these days.

When I was 15, I called a girl’s house, and her dad answered. So naturally I hung up, but unfortunately, her dad used *69, and I was ultimately caught.

So my dad dragged me over there and made me apologize. Granted, her dad went a bit too far and kept yelling, so it ended with my dad threatening to literally shove his head up his ass if he didn’t accept the apology and shut up.

I have an e-bike that can do 35 miles an hour on a flat stretch and that shit is terrifying

But it is a bicycle. If the battery runs out, I can still pedal it.

I feel like e-motorcycles need a little bit more regulation to help prevent things like this from happening. Some licensing at the very least.
