I guess London is not going to feel any difference - every other ebike is already run on a throttle and 5-600W motors. Cat's out of the bag at this point, I suppose, but it really pisses me off when they're whizzing around at silly speeds looking down at their damn phones.

Better on a bike than in a larger vehicle.

Huh? This is such a useless comment. Says nothing and yet creates an excuse for idiots.

Murder is also better than mass-murder, yet I don't think anyone would ever use such statement to justify it.

The bicycle company lobby being luddites is entirely unsurprising.

The current 250w is less than a human cyclist can produce. We allow horses on our roads that can produce over 10,000w, without a MOT or licence, but only rich people ride those so I suppose that's okay.
