Also, that’s funny that USAA won’t cover bikes that assist above 15mph, since literally every class of eBike goes faster than that
That is, however, the legal limit for e-bikes in the EU (25 km/h), everything else you need license and registration for.
There’s a world of difference between a legit branded eBike
Seriously, what is going on with the US (from another article that’s linked in this one):
“I had my e bike (although it’s one of those that look like scooters with the big batteries) in the elevator and the super just happened to come in. He stared at it and said you can’t charge these in the building. You’ll be getting a letter soon. I got it and it said e-bikes were not allowed in the building anymore because of all the fires that have come up because of them. It’s really sad too because I just ordered myself an e-bike from alibaba that I’d been waiting weeks for.“
You’d be surprised. Most people get sticker shock and think spending $1200us is a deal. Those things are fucking deathtraps that are prone to the battery catching on fire.

Who the fuck buys an e-bike on ali-fucking-baba?

That’s where I got most of the parts to build mine. 😄
I think the BB motor came from ebay though.
