Definitely NOT an ebike, but still cool. Hopefully we will see this tech in actual bikes.
I'll guess that the day you see a sudden price drop or clearance sale in a particular ebile brand or their batteries are when new models or batteries will be announced.
e-bile. Did Twitter change names again?
That's more of an electric Vespa than an e-bike.
It is a beaut though.
Maximum load is 75 kg.
Scooters are bikes now?
I get the impression a lot of leftpondians use "bike" to mean MC, so to them saying "ebike" when they mean "electric motorcycle" is pretty natural.
Emoto or escooter are words too, and they would have been more accurate. This is not an ebike, there are no pedals and calling it one is just straight up incorrect.
That's my opinion as well (I think of "ebike" as "EU-conformant pedelec"), but that opinion doesn't seem to be universal.
Can't use it if you're fat tho
Or a man of average height.
Average weight of an Asian male is 60kg, so they’d be just fine on one of these bikes.
It isn't, even for china it is 69, add everything that people wear and take with them daily it will be over 75. source
