More people on bikes is great, but statistically, it means more people getting in bike accidents, too. Plus, while regulated ebikes don\u2019t really make you a lot faster, they are heavier, a bit more difficult to manage, and do make it easier for inexperienced riders to go faster than they would pedal otherwise. And we all know there are plenty of ebikers riding around town in the gray areas with their pedal-assist speed limiters bypassed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a
