Wonder how many deaths need to occur before legislative action is taken against the things. “Police Sergeant injured in Melbourne following impact by e bike ridden by a 15 year-old” in this morning’s news (10 Apr). Legislation covering e mobility has been poorly thought through. I had a 500W motor installed to my Kona hardtail – recommended for mountain type bikes. The mech tested it to 62 kmh. If I was stupid enough to ride it at those speeds how long would the tyres, brakes, driveline last before something went “pffft”or I collided with a pedestrian on a bike path?

Useless for anyone who needs prescription specs. I’ve been using Rayban’s with prescription lenses for 46 years.
