Why only non-folding bikes?

It's really not much different to an old school mugging is it, instead of taking your wallet and other possessions including expensive trainers they just take your ebike...scum...

"AI-controlled sensors can identify riders from as far as 30m away, triggering the lights to turn red for drivers. By the time the cyclist reaches the crossing, the lights for bikes and pedestrians have turned green, "giving [them] a smoother, uninterrupted journey on their bikes", according to Solihull Council, in a scheme being tested by the West Midlands Combined Authority."

I have two types of helmet 1 is a geko with full visor the other is a moto x that has a clear visor and an internal sun visor.

i never used my bike until i got my helmets and I am 69. Made sense to me to wear one.

i did think it was law to wear one but only for motor scooters and motorbikes .
but if not law it is common sense to wear one .

Whilst having sympathy for the fella and his family, What the hell does his death have to do with the bike being an eapc?
Once again the Mail screams inaccuracy to the ignorant.
Can't read the article 'cos of the paywall, but the headline contains enough bias and sloppy phrasing to know it's the usual malinformed lowest common denominator rant.

Y, a motor scooter rather than an ebike, but it is a Conversion of a classic. Good or bad? Pity the battery takes up the rack space. No passenger! :cool:
Brilliant and cheap! How do I install it to my Dahon folding bike?
