Anyone going that fast on a bike IS a motorcycle.

I saw a Vespa today for the first time in ages, and kind of wondered why mopeds have fallen so out of favour. There used always be a few 16 year olds belting about on them.

But why would anyone get one when they can have an ebike? Vespa is likely more expensive, needs petrol, you need a licence, a (relatively) expensive helmet, you need costly insurance.

Compared to an e-bike thatโ€™s half the price, doesnโ€™t need a licence or insurance, can be ridden with a normal cycling helmet, and is allowed use bike lanes. Itโ€™s a bit of a no brainer.
