I'm currently waiting on the arrival of my first e-bike in the next few weeks. A 250w pedelec with a maximum assisted speed of 25 kmh. Legally it's regarded as a normal bicycle. I currently have an ordinary fairly heavy and not particularly fast hybrid bicycle. It's a general purpose commuting and shopping workhorse. I'm not particularly fit and not trying to be but on the flat even loaded down by racks, bags and baskets I can comfortably cycle faster than the 25 kmh e-bike assisted cut off speed. And I can exceed 50 kmh on a good downhill. Am I breaking the law in Coventry? It's going to be the same with my new e-bike. It has 10 derailleur gears and if I pedal faster under my own power after the motor cuts out at 25 kmh I will regularly be exceeding 25 kmh. I will definitely be doing 50 kmh or more down those hills on it too. Perfectly legally. I'm getting it to make going up those bloody hills and facing into headwinds easier and faster overall. On the flats, I am going to be exceeding that 25 kmh assist cut off most of the time. Am I going to be a menace to society? More than I already am? I see plenty of yahoos on scooters and particularly illegally riding over powered and unrestricted e-bikes that legally should require a license and insurance all of the time. I would be totally p1ssed off if I were to be included with those arseholes in any generalised ban of all e-bikes. This Coventry by law is ridiculous. Take those illegally used bikes off all of those that are riding them instead. That's a course of action I will stand behind.

Coventry has always been a car city

I agree with restrictions and regulations. Ebikes are not as eco-friendly as the narrator says (lithium mining is pretty f*cked), modded ebikes are an absolute menace, and I don't think that able-bodied people should be using ebikes at all. Getting fitter is good for you. Where I would disagree is for the disabled and the elderly.

3 weeks ago there were still plenty of bicycles, but they have been mainly replaced by electric scooters, which glide along rapidly and silently in the cycle lanes and sometimes on footpaths. It is wise to keep an eye open in all directions, especially when getting out of a taxi. In the hutong, we saw abandoned, rusting vehicles like the one at 2.44 in the video. I was wondering what had happened to the owners.

You have NO sound mate. QC your videos before posting.

I think Mclaren will win!

several ordinary people i know(including my parents, former classmates, aquaintences) have taken trips of 100-150km on a bike which easily blows pass the range of every ebike on the market. heck, i am far from an endurance superstar and ive passed the 50km/day mark most ebikes advertise. it might as well be powered by hand picked potatoes from my home garden so the carbon footprint is basically nothing.

Locked up a lamppost 😂 love it.. 👍

ban cars they for sure ruined a lot in our cities

Let‘s ban everything🤡

Forget that - Buy a Lankeleisi MG740 Plus, its 2000 Watt, 20 Amp, 48 Volt. eBay £1350. Yours aint a Beast, sorry to disappoint

Time will tell… hope so. Beautiful e-bikes 🔌 🚲

Should put the u lock (strongest part of this) trough the frame and onto the bicycle stand.

Yes!

Hi

So the old saying of "being sent to Coventry" now becomes a real punishment to ebike cyclists. Such backwards thinking.

Again police not doing their jobs nick the yobs who don’t need an e-bike anyway they are to assist someone who can’t manage to ride a normal bicycle

i had my toe run over by a wheel chair. I am sick of these monstrositys taking up the whole path. And old people with shoping trolleys are a nightmare. just two more thing that need banning.

Justifying lycra costumes is sad unless your professional, but they're all IT nerds.i like a frame of snooker but i don't go to the club with waist coat and bow tie.

If a bike lane is provided then it should be compulsory to use it. No choice. No exceptions.

K

not interested in this "the first will have you blah blah blah". Is this AI generated?

Why is nearly everything in the UK

This feels almost AI generated? Why is there so much unrelated footage to what you're talking about? especially the Körmend bike lane. not a single picture of it? really? You wanna talk about thoughtlessly designed bike infrastructure, but your content feels like it's just mass produced content farming to get views... Please, if you're an actual person and not just a content mil, listen to the feedback on your videos and improve upon them, we need more channels raising awareness on how to create good infrastructure, but this video is just confusing and frustrating to watch.

In the words of a great comedian: "You get what you f*<king deserve!". At some point someone has to look at some of these bike lanes and ask "Is it even worth putting one here?" but with "national codes" and "pressure from cyclists" at some point you are going to get designs like this.

13 bike lanes in less than 6 1/2 minutes! is > 30 seconds per example ... I'm out of breath trying to keep up and very little the wiser about any of the examples. Four or five examples with a more in depth "review"/explanation of the faults would have been far better.

Why didn't you show pictures OR a video of the Körmend bike lane?

have you had any issues with the lock failing to open after time? and has it been cut through with a angle ginder with you still use it? please if you can let me know it will be really appreciated.

I got an ebike after I took a spill cracked my ribs when starting a ride I also have c.o.p d. Having an ebike has made it possible to ride longer and better for me

I got my $1,800 Cannondale bike stolen when I locked it on the rack by the front wheel. When I came back, the only thing left was the lock and the front wheel.

hi, with S5 can I carry a person on the bike tube? if so, what maximum weight? Thanks a lot!

So does it make you taller or not?

How does someone wearing lycra spoil someone else's bike ride? Just be friendly and courteous to others. That's all that matters.

if they don’t sell the battery separately you will have to make it yourself please describe it I just ordered in a couple of days I will have it I didn’t think about the battery

I wanted to see the 10 best but got the 10 least worst? So British

I read your full review, thank you for all the details! I was wondering, is the backpanel breathable enough? Have you tried to commute / ride with it on a hot day? How did it went? Thank you for your help!

Does the UK govt have any incentive to tax road users when it taxes motorists 60% of the fuel they put in their cars? And how are they going to replace this revenue when electric cars replace ICE vehicles?

thank you so much!!

Blud there's no bicycle option 🖕

How odd. Been riding a bike for a long time and never rode in a huge crowd as shown here. What a terrible idea. You might as well be in a car on a crowded street, constantly looking here and there to avoid a collision. Ugh! Bikes really are for people who like freedom from all the busyness of urban life. Stop encouraging people to switch from one frustrating form of transportation--the automobile--to another--bicycle herding. One is almost as bad as the other. Let bikes continue to be the best way to get away from it all. There are so few things left that offer us a chance to do this. Nowadays, these cycling advocates are trying to take that away from us and turn cycling into the same kind of "normalized drudgery" automobiles have given us.

How does cycling work when it's raining, snowing, freezing cold, and insanely windy and stormy? How do cyclists carry heavy, bulky, items/furnishings, like cellos and trombones? How to musicians transport their sound systems? What about long trips? Will you be too exhausted to teach your classes at the university, perform your duties in the ER, or drive those bulldozers? I’m a cyclist and love it, but bicycles may not be the panacea many of us want it to be. Cars are still needed, but, yes; let’s reduce our dependency on them. I do wonder if I’d like riding my bike in a huge crowd as shown. In my experience, one of the most enjoyable things about cycling is having a lot of riding space to myself, not having to constantly watch out for bikes or cars everywhere.

Great video! Just got back from my traffic-laden nightly ride and I wish we had some bike infra here.

Brussels, Belgium,Portland Oregon USA, Jakarta, Bogota, Columbia, Mexico City, Mexico, Ghent , Belgium, Singapore. Some are one Sunday a month others every Sunday.

To be clear here, the scooters of this type are a grunge-boy, girly-boy, hipster fad, and they are toys too. In fact scooters with this profile powered or not have always been toys. They don't take cars off the street, and they aren't real conveyances. I also think that they're a nuisance because adults ride them like children ride them. Like haphazardly. Bicycles are different, have always been different, and are very often serious conveyances.

There are atleast two to five regular cyclists in my neighborhood and that includes me plus the kids who ride their bikes every afternoon. Cycling needs to be promoted in our place.

A stolen bike is a stolen happines. 🚴🏾‍♂️

It is over

The bicycle was invented in the UK therefore it should be the bicyclng capital of the world .Over here in Canada I keep hearing politicians and Canadians saying that we can't afford separate protected bicycle infrastructure. That's bullocks ! Canada is a wealthy country. There are countries with a quarter of the GDP of Canada and these countries have extensive and proper bicycle infrastructure.

I love using the London Underground in New York.
