Carcuck in disguise . The thrill of cycling is that youre powering yourself, not twisting a grip and going fast

THIS. I will tolerate e bikes only because that means there's one less car on the road, but fuck that noise for ruining a perfectly good real bike

Just waiting for first e-bike pedestrian fatality. Bonus points if it is non-compliant with regulations and had been modified by the rider.

If you pay for the raw materials and for the electricity, you are powering yourself.

Wheels are efficient, more so than bipedal locomotion. Wheels + engine are even more efficient. To disregard this power is akin to preferring square wheels for the "thrill" of being inefficient.

Wheels + engine are not more efficient, you're just using stored energy, and a pretty inefficient means of storing energy as well. so DIE YOU MISERABLE COCKSUCKER THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR KIND AND MAY YOUR MOTHER ROT IN HER GRAVE FOR SPAWNING A WORTHLESS FAGGOT LIKE YOU

God did not intend a bicycle to go 50 MPH. Just imagine hitting an obstacle at that speed, or T boning a cage that turned out blindly. You'd better have a full motorcycle safety gear on, and at that point you may as well just get the motorcycle outright.
I don't want speed, I want distance and climbing assist. I could go hours on flats but after 15 minutes of continuous uphill I want to die.
These ricing faggots are going to incur legal wrath and get all our fun toys regulated and b&. Won't be long until mandatory bike registration and regular inspections and licensing to make sure you aren't ricing. Meanwhile cages will take over the place and continue murdering children and innocents with impudence while the cops are on the bike path harassing some granny with an e-kit on her schwinn.

Purism is just people making arbitrary rules to make themselves feel better about themselves. Nobody said you can't ride an ebike and a normal bike or own both. Feeling good? Ride the bike to work. Running late? Hungover? Ebike. Cages owned: 0, transportation convenience identical.

I can do that as well:
My scooter goes about 120 km/h and does 0-100 in less than 5 seconds.
It is powered by Lithium Polymer batteries as well.

Only difference: It has more appropriate brakes and no pedals.

>loose pouch cells electrical taped together

My anus puckered just looking at this. I have seen some baaaad battery fires before, and that's a BBQ waiting to happen.

Also dear god he just mixed a ton of different sized batteries together. I'm amazed it didn't light up on camera and actually survived through filming.

>50mph

Hate to break it to you but since they're not in burgerland, "50" was probably 50kph, or around 31mph.

If I wanted to go fast with an engine I'd buy a motorcycle or drive my car.
Cycling is about me using my own body to go somewhere. No, pushing the gas pedal isn't what I mean.
Every time someone putts an engine on a bicycle I cringe. It's probably a cager who is too poor to afford a car so tries desperately to satisfy his cager needs by putting an engine of any sort on a bike or go cart. It's just pathetic.

>Go convert your bicycle right now.
No fuck that. It's illegal and there are many better option which are legal and objectively better.

The EU, Australia and possibly elsewhere would all ban OP. They only allow electric assist up to 25 km/h.

It's not illegal to be electric assisted per se but it can only be 250 W max. Everything above that needs a license plate which you obviously will never get for such a bike.

Mounting an angle grinder to your bike isn't considered save either so the police will most likely confiscate your bike.
