Not me.
I love electric motorcycles, but that would be a forum deviation not in keeping with the philosophy of the site. Fine as a passing topic such as this, but not beyond that.
Other than intentionally alienating e-bikes even further from mainstream pedal cyclists, what is the point in that?

They know the difference,I don't think anyone could be stupid enough to think that a 5kw motorbike is a bicycle!all these bikes are electric motorbikes/mopeds.If they where fitted with 250w motors they would be pedelecs.Yes to a electric motorbike section,but people need to learn the difference between motorbikes/mopeds and pedelecs.
But it does not suit them to acknowledge the difference,for that would be an admission that they also have to acknowledge the need to register,tax,insure,helmet etc.
At the moment these electric motorbikes don't really have a use,maybe new legislation will find a home for them.

Asking for it? Don't think so... Riding it like a motorbike? With all due respect, I can tell you don't have a clue about it. I have insurance. You don't need indicators as long as you use hand signals, you don't need (as you call them) "wing mirrors" and as it's fully electric there would be no need for road tax. The only thing I agree with is your comment with regards to road tyres, I am going to be putting some on soon. If the police choose to stop me for no reason, or just out of curiosity, I will stop as that's the law and I haven't broken and laws in the first place! Don't put silly comments!

I think the post you are referring to was soundwave pretending to be everything biker.Is sound wave everything biker?who else who rides an illegal bike has insurance?
What an interesting thread, just finished reading from start to finish, one odd thing for me about this guy is that he clearly states he has insurance (which he states in another video), but as he rides about 30mph on throttle only I would doubt any insurance would still be valid, so can't decide if he is just trying to fool people watching the video's or if he is just fooling himself.
What amazes me is that he is passing police cars and not one decides to pull him over for at least a check. What is also concerning is that a 'mature 13 year old',hehe was asking whether he could handle one.
I suspect that he may be regretting all the interest he has created,certainly he wont be 'stealth',excuse the pun,for much longer.
As for reducing the power down to 250 watts,yeh......

having been involved in this active thread i have a change of heart concerning the killjoy riding around on his illegal stealth and posting videos on various sites, perhaps he should be arrested and locked up until he knows better or perhaps stoned in the street... i was out riding my stealth on sunday morning not bothering any one or anything when i rode near to a kiddies play area with barriers around it and spotted a young girl riding around on her electric quad i also noticed the no wheeled sign by the entrance then i suddenly thought of this thread and had to make a decision should i go and stop her illegal riding ?? forcibly if needed and demand she stop so she doesn't spoil things for others and electric quads /trikes get banded for ever in the uk, no i decided her dad (i presume ) had it under control they were both out having fun and harming no one... i wonder if she had insurance ?, i also asked myself if my daughter who's 22 had been playing in the park and got injured by the quad whether the dad would have any remorse.... corse not cut he ent boverd ...., also theres a well known company and real helpful guy who spends a fair bit of time on here who openly sells ebikes/pedlecs and openly advertises the illegal dongle tune up available, i was wondering if he gets bricks through his windows on a regular basis for encouraging illegal riding ??
oh !!! but when he did he still knew it was illegal as for the riding by the kiddies LMFAO !!!! .... I'm not having a pop at anyone i,m voicing my opinion on a open forum and i appreciate you guys looking after your best interests i too own 2 genuine pedlecs i also own 2 dongles!! bought from the same shop i bought the pedlecs!!! i also ride a illegal stealth!! my wife rides a illegal bultaco we don't bother anyone and no one bothers us even on the very odd occasion when i go to the bike park infact the stealth attracts a lot of attention and yes i know there illegal but this is the uk not russia and at this time I'm happy and so is she to do so before this country changes for ever!!!!!
