Good news but I hope there's more clarity regarding laws and the safety of mopeds, e-bikes and bikes.

Education is more important than legislation.

People need to be educated of the rules of the road or wherever they ride their bikes.

People need to be educated the danger to themselves and others when they operate their bike, ebikes, e-scooter, e-mopeds on public roads.

Regardless of laws & rules, people who want to ride fast will always do it, but at least when they are educated of the danger they present to themselves & others, maybe they would re-evaluate before taking too much risk while riding.

Why more high-end bike companies are making budget-level electric bikes

Because they offer higher profit margin for retailers? more volume in sales?

What an exciting development. It's great to see a trusted brand expanding its horizons. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the Electra Ponto Go and how it performs. I'll just check out the reviews tbh before trying one if they go into production.
