The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition weighed in with a pointed response, arguing that the state should be making it easier, not harder, to own and use e-bikes. Their senior organizer echoed the sentiment shared by many riders: the real confusion and danger comes from people not being able to tell the difference between a legal e-bike and an electric moped, not from the bikes themselves.
Brett Thurber, co-owner of a San Francisco e-bike shop, raised a practical industry concern about AB 1557. Restricting California’s speed limits below what manufacturers currently build for the U.S. market could push companies to skip California customers entirely, shrinking the supply available to local shops and consumers.
You do realize that “a guy who knows a a guy” is a general statement about getting something shady done, right?
Not that it’s a guy. You could have just as easily asked me to prove it is a guy who does these things and not a girl.
I’m being “hostile” because you’ve complained about much harder facts than this nonsense you’ve come up with here. It’s called “reaping what you sow”.
I’m also very annoyed at your sealioning, which is annoying behaviour that almost everyone online hates. So no, I do not need to take a breather, you need to stop this behaviour.
I’ve shown you plenty of evidence to at least make the claim highly probable. You’re just being obtuse and obnoxious and while I’ve done my best to inform you, you have the audacity to stop at an estimate. If you don’t understand how that is annoying then maybe there is no way to explain anything to you.
