@erkdyy

please provide us your definition of a Bi-Cycle.

[hombrelubinero]

There's alot of speed & I appreciate the broken barriers towards maximizing human power but what's the point if it isn't practical? You ride this in my city & you'll get splattered like a rotten tomatoe. It has to be practical, within reach monetarily for the average joe and manageable in several escenarios, not just straight lines. Is there anything?

@hombrelubinero

Have you seen an average joe driving formula one car, to pickup kids from school? It is same thing. These are race bikes, they are not for daily riding or recreational, they are build to break world record.

@dkw12002 this bike cant be driven around town son.... besides, those electric bikes outta be registers just like as mopeds.

@dkw12002 You cant ride an 80mph bicycle around town so why should anyone care? Although, electric bikes SHOULD have to be registered just like gas mopeds... and in some places, they rightly have to be.

[dkw12002]

It's a good thing bicycles are considered children's toys by many people cause otherwise with faster and faster bikes and now ebikes, we would have to register them, have a license, and buy insurance.
