Electric bike riding in U.S. National Parks is a contentious topic. Now the NPS wants to know what you think on whether they should be permanently banned?

 

New York City will get $25 million to create public safe storage and charging locations for e-bikes at public housing developments.

 

So my dilemma: I bought my eBike to help me get around the city, because I don’t have a car and our transit has been going downhill since the pandemic.

HOWEVER, I keep hearing how awful bike thefts are here, and the only way to keep my bike safe is to never let it out of my sight. Which severely limits the types of errand I can use it for.

So — how do you keep your bike safe? Insurance? Alarm? System of expensive locks? Never leave it unattended? Have you ever had your bike stolen? Anything you wish you’d done differently?

 

U.S. sales of e-bikes nearly doubled in just one year as commuters looked for accessible and affordable modes of transportation. If you’re considering one, here’s what you should know.

 

Should eBikes be governed the same way as cars or the same way as bicycles? Or maybe they need new rules?

MPs and industry experts call on electric bikes to have number plates and insurance for pedestrian safety.

 

What ebike are you riding? Do you recommend?
