If there's one thing I'm glad I didn't have when I was a kid, it's a bike that weighs practically nothing and has 100% torque available from 0 RPM. I feel like that's gonna get more people hurt/killed than a bike with a high top speed would, honestly. If someone's going way too fast, they know exactly what they're doing and they're alert. As soon as you trade that for acceleration, people stop paying attention.

@plutarch@gotosocial.plutar.ch @morgan@sfba.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Even my homemade ebike, which is only 250 watts, a third of a horsepower, really wants to do wheelies because of all that low-end torque. And it's so weak compared to these e-motorcycles
