Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I'd rather ride a M/C with functional equipment in this town. Most M/C riders have had experience and training. Its up to them whether they play nice or not. But at least there should be nothing taken for granted when riding a M/C. These e Bikes give people a feeling of invincibility for some reason.
