They have such a weird standard here. An ebike which maxes out at 20mph/32kph is allowed to use biking infrastructure, while ones that go up to 28mph/45kph are street legal but can’t use biking lanes/sidewalks. Almost all roads here have a speed limit of 30mph+ though. It makes them almost useless along with mopeds in a state where car pollution creates some of the most toxic air in the US.
If I understand correctly, the penalty for riding an over powered ebike in Colorado is only $21:
I going to make a homemade ebike with a multiple kilowatt washing machine or tumble dryer motor in pure spite. And because it’s fun.
Well, I would if I had the resources to do so and lived there.

Found this on Google about the Reddit post.
I DIY’d my super illegal ebike (1500 watts and goes like 30-32 mph), it was a little over $1000. If I already had a mountain bike to sacrifice it would have been about $600.
The pre-assembled ones come at a huge premium and generally won’t go faster than 25 mph without some expensive modifications.

This feels exactly like the kind of muh gubmint post that would appear on communities.win or any other chud site
muh gubmint overreach
they never do “muh gubmint” posts when it comes to police or troops hurting people they don’t like
nor do they do “damned entitlements” posts when it comes to corporations receiving huge subsidies
i was talking about chud sites. are you ok? i was just adding to what you said.
Muh gubmint overreach is real and annoying. You should not need a loiscence for a fucking moped.
There’s a difference between opposing listening rules because they punish working class people and opposing them out of an ideological opposition to the government doing things.
