Out of curiosity why would we want e-bikes to go over 20mph??

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

When the city announced a speed limit in June, haters rejoiced. But the plan had some holes.

Hot take but a lot of opposition to “e-bikes” is just opposition to bikes in general. E-bikes are not quieter than acoustic bikes, when any bike is noisy it’s almost always noisy brakes or chain which apply to both types of bikes

There should be an age limit for e-bikes. I just almost had a group of kids on e-bikes hit my car because they aren’t strong enough to control their e-bikes.

That’s why he specified “illegal, high-speed” e-bikes instead of condemning all e-bikes.

E-bikes change lives. Full stop.
My parents just got new folding e-bikes delivered yesterday and I called to find out how they liked them and they were already miles from home having a blast. Haven't biked in years, live in the suburbs, not advocates or snobs or cheaters. Just loving their life.

I particularly like this bit: "e-bikes are replacing cars more than they are replacing bikes"
The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.
E-bikes support fewer car trips.

They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

We gotta get those e-bikes under control!
If you're on the Southeast Side and want a beer and pretty good fried chicken, stop by Loncar's on 92nd/Brandon. They could use the biz, as someone drove through their front wall to make off with the ATM over the weekend.

The thing I've learned is that many people who yell about e-bikes simply hate all bikes. E-bikes are just an easy target these days.

e-bikes are no kidding good for national security bsky.app/profile/cost...
Very sincerely, every bit of travel we do in an EV, on a train, on a bus, on a bike/e-bike, by walking or rolling, or by other active transport, helps the climate, helps air quality, and helps national & economic security. We should fund these as national security infrastructure.

E-bikes are the EVs we need.
“Compared to self-driving cars, and just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the flashy self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” — @davidzipper.bsky.social
