Somehow nobody cares about overpowered cars like overpowered ebikes. Why is selling a car that can go 240 or 400 kmh okay while selling a bike that can go 45 kmh not okay? IMO stopping both would be great.

Imo, no matter how fast the car can go, there's still limited infrastructure that allow them to do so(highway), but overpowered ebike is ridden everywhere, especially pedestrian heavy area, and also easily access by anyone of any age, where car is limited to people who have to go through a driving lesson to get a licence.

Secondly, your chance of survival when crashing while driving a car at 40kmph is significantly higher than your chance of survival when crashing while riding an ebike at 40kmph. Even at 20kmph, you might get seriously hurt if landing badly w/o helmet while on a bicycle, and since most people don't wear body protection while riding bike, this kinda make it worse.

Thirdly, most people don't drive super car because of the price, yet a class 3 ebike is quite accessible for a lot of people.

As someone that always favor bicycle and is riding a class 2 that's almost a class 3, I honestly don't think both case is comparable. All or nothing is a terrible argument anyway.

Maybe bring back Vine or something.

I think the way they talk and pronounce the word is different and that's how i differentiate them even when i don't know a word from both language.

I speak 3 languages daily and as for my case it's only when i speak it's tough to remember the word of that language i want if the code switch isn't quite "right" so sometimes a word or two from another language will seep through. Never get confuse on what language is spoken by others though

This seems like a bad take. Do most people really only ride on the throttle?

I think people realise that highspeed is far more dangerous for everyone than throttle, and throttle have far more use case than higher speed, which i kinda agree.

For instance, i can kick-start my momentum easily if i forgot to switch it down to lower gear, or when i need to start moving uphill from a slope, or when i have a lot of grocery at the back and need to push it back to my garage, or when i have a flat and have to push the bike for a distance. I'm sure there's more that i haven't encounter.
