    eBike or electric motorcycle? I see them used interchangeably sometimes but I always thought eBike included pedaling and topped out at like 35kph

      Although ebycicles are also overpriced for the non crap ones

      They’re supposed to top out at 28 mph (45kph) in the US, but people sometimes make or reprogram them to go faster. I usually refer to actual motorcycles as emoto to differentiate but its sounds like they mean emoto here.

        They should rebrand as technobike or something. Give it it’s own cool name

          If they could add stainless steel panels, make them rust outside, and drastically raise the price, that would be a huge step forward for a few thousand people apparently.

        Yeah I was mostly asking because it seems like emoto is ruinously expensive while bikes are a pretty wide range
