I was never wild about them but I am aging and they are becoming a more tempting prospect. I sorta have a dream type where is a fixy and the pedal assist allows for like an automatic type of gear shifting and does regenerative braking. So like a lot of assist to get going from start and up a hill but falling to nothing when going along. I swear I had a gearhub that allowed coasting but also a coaster type break but Im like not sure if Im remembering it wrong.
A lot of ebikes will let you set a speed limit for the motor, so it only adds power below say 5mph. I don’t remember seeing any fixies, but there are some coming out with auto gear shifting
You mean IRA?
yup.
Yeah most policy makers completely ignoring or being outright hostile to e-bikes is really annoying.
I don’t even ride one since I live in a dense neighborhood and am physically able but for a lot of people they are pretty revolutionary.
