E-Bike System

Makes you wonder why Ebikes cost so much compared to a E-scooter heh?

Ebike can run on the bike lanes. Not so with a scooter.
Ebike is more nimble.
Ebike can go places scooters can't.
Scooters are harder to steal.
Scooters are more comfortable.
Scooters has lights, horn, fancy stuff.

I went Ebike, because it is cheaper and can take it inside my work building and charge the sucker up. I also don't have to worry about finding a parking spot in between all the motor cycles. I don't have to stay behind cars. I can pass them on the side and scoot to the front. Now if I lived somewhere else and work was a bit further, than a E-Scooter would've fit the bill.

Time for Monster Mike to make a Monster Ebike conversion for outrunner motors.

Yep there are pros & cons for each of them. I personally want an E-bike just because it is much easier to deal with in regards to transporting it if there is a problem, and also when you are moving from one place to another. I can throw an E-bike into the back of my van or load it up on a bike rack on the tow hitch if I need to. Plus as we move from one country to another we can just put it into our household goods shipment. And yes it can get into places that a scooter can not. I have a motorcycle license but riding an E-bike does not require one. Just less hassle all around riding the E-bike. Most places the Cops will not bother or go after a bicycle, but a scooter is held much more accountable to the local laws in most places.

For most who may have a mountain bike sitting around they can easily be converted. With the cost of the chinese kit and a good battery pack you can still do an E-bike conversion for about $1000.

The scooter that I am thinking about is considered a bicycle by the ministry of transport simply because it has bike pedals on it. The pedals are useless, they are just there so that it is considered a bicycle so there's no need for a motorcycle license or insurance and yes you can ride in the bike lanes. For me and what I plan to do with it, I think it will fit the bill better than an E-Bike.
