Lol, my very ahead of its time ebike had a maybe four mile range, hit twenty going down red ant hill, and with its passing it thoroughly convinced me that i'm getting a new one with a hundred mile range. The right one will cover the entire valley, get to interlaken and back, and save a whole lotra money on gas...

Benny ⭐ on Tuesday 21 April 2026 - 20:26:18

Most e-bikes already have lights, reflectors, and governors, etc., so most are compliant out of the box. Some can be tweaked to go faster than 20 mph in class 2-full throttle mode, but it's unlikely rentals would do that.

If they go over 20-30 mph with throttle only, they're really a motorcycle and require an M1 or M2 endorsement, or L, as most states are moving to, but we all know how that goes. lol

Polar 🌌rbit on Tuesday 21 April 2026 - 19:01:25

So I'm wondering how the new CA ebike rules will affect the rental business in BB. Will the local law conveniently ignore the rules?

Benny ⭐ on Monday 20 April 2026 - 09:47:03

Aww, bummed to hear that. I hit one many moons ago. It was dark, early in the morning, and he was right around a corner. Totaled my truck, but the burro was actually ok.

MrsBearendipity on Monday 20 April 2026 - 07:42:41

Holeinbow, oh nooo. This makes me so sad. I’m so very sorry 😢. I love those furry guys.

holeinbow on Monday 20 April 2026 - 06:59:44
