Try pumping the clutch shift and rear brake. It’ll probably do something. Not sure what.
Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

Really? Because I don’t remember pedaling my Honda 750.

Can we use the same logic for motorscooters?
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t remember pedaling my eBike, either. With a big enough motor, they’re all but completely vestigal.

eBikes require pedaling. I don’t know what you had, but it wasn’t an eBike.
Dremor@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Depends on the juridictions. Some countries make it mandatory pedaling (mine does), other don’t.

eBikes requiring pedaling is mostly just a software limitation - not a hardware one. I can’t quite see how it stops being an eBike after you disable this limitation.

not exactly, a bunch of those Chinese DUI scooters have pedals, but they don’t do anything.

DUI?

It’s true that there are different classes of ebikes. Class 3 ebikes with enough power can be basically motorcycles disguised as bikes. Mine is a class 1 and very much a bicycle. If the distinction can be made that some ebikes do not require pedaling and are therefore motorcycles, by extension it is equally valid to say that ALL ebikes must have pedals so all ebikes are bikes. The truth is really somewhere in-between. Not sure how important that is to a shower thought though.
