The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
From what I've briefly read China (and many other countries) have regulated that e-bikes must be under a certain weight (55kg) and top speed (25km/h) and anything over that is no longer considered an e-bike but rather a moped/motorbike that needs everything a motorbike would require i.e you have to get a licence to drive it and registration/plates.
It sounds resonable to me as the lines between an e-bike and e-motorbike got blurred real quick. Besides there's no way these wheelchairs are faster or more convenient than even a regulated e-bike?? Or am I missing something?? I guess you can ride them right into your office/up to your desk...
