Honestly a great take. While i generally doesn’t mind throttle-only use of an ebike, some of these machine is just way too fast, to the point people are starting to look at ebike like they look at car.

I liked this guy’s videos, but what’s with the random ablism?? Completely out of left field and nobody seems to even notice? Can somebody explain please?
Did you even watch the video? He even addressed the point about which you’re asking. Repeatedly.
Yeah so, I don’t think you know what I was referring to since he mentioned it offhandedly. You may not even have noticed him saying it. It’s his need to include it and the seeming lack of reponse by anyone that I find puzzling.
I’m referring to him saying emotional support animals don’t belong in restaurants, by the way.
Wait your comment was about a small part of the video unconnected to the main point. You gotta mention that if you expect people to not assume its about comments that would fit with your comment that is about the main point of the video. Its unreasonable to expect otherwise.
I thought saying it’s ‘out of left field’ and hard to notice would clue people in, hoping from a response from people who had also already taken notice. I didn’t want to start a discussion on emotional support animals, just on why people don’t seem to take notice of something like that being said.
Out of left field just says the abilism comment came out of no where but not that its not on topic so its completely natural to assume you are talking about the role of electric bikes in folks with less mobility. Which honestly just causes the person to sorta wonder about you because. out of left field? with electric bikes and mobility? I mean once you specifically mentioned the animals it became clear but the initial comment is just one of those things that because you noticed it and thought about it you noticed it but because you were not specific people thought you were talking about something different.
Yeah that seems to be the case, you’re right.
Sure, can you leave a timestamp about the part you’re referring to?
It’s at 13:45.
It seems like he’s referring to the very real problem of people getting a doctor’s note to let them bring an untrained animal anywhere as if it were a trained service animal, and relating that to people putting pedals on a motorcycle to let them go anywhere a bike would be allowed.
It’s an apt comparison as people with trained service animals and compliant ebikes are both hurt by others who bend or break their respective rules.
Is it though? Not a problem I’ve ever encountered, unlike dangerous ebikes. And the latter causes actual injury, not just a minor nuisance, so I wouldn’t call it an apt comparison either.
If, however, the commonly held opinion is that animals in restaurants are as big a problem as dangerous motor vehicles… I guess that explains the lack of response at least.
