I’m looking to buy an electric bike for myself and rent an electric bike for a friend who will visit so we can go biking together. Is there anywhere you’d suggest I go to find these (not necessarily both from the same place)?
Also, I’m wondering if there are any rules and regulations I should know about for electric bikes or if it’s just the same as normal cycling?
I’m looking for one of those electric bikes that almost looks like a cross between a bicycle and a scooter, something that I can use to go really go places with but also use to commute.
Edit: something went missing in my edit. I think I said something about I’m not very familiar with those vehicles, so I can’t really help you.
Also, I think a Gogoro, or similar electric scooter, or a real electric bicycle (type 1 or pedal assisted) are better options than any of those chimera things. Also, you can really go to places and commute with a real e-bike (pedal assisted).
Anyway, you need a license for those vehicles, not for a pedal assist e-bike.
