Dumb article. The author wants electric motorcycles without the hassle of licensing, registration, and insurance. She does not want an e-bike.

    Eh, I think she has a point about the wattage limitation. I can see an acceleration and speed based restriction as being safe, but limiting wattage seems like an arbitrary standard.

    That’s true to some extent. Those wattage numbers are pretty fuzzy depending on how it’s measured (continuous vs instantaneous power and such).

    However the actual article is almost exclusively focused on being able to go 40mph+, and the hassle of making the motorbike street-legal and getting licensed.
