Why is it even legal to import illegal bikes into a country? Shut this thing at the source, make Amazon & co liable for ebikes that don't respect national legislation. The entire problem disappears in 6 months.

What national legislation are you even talking about?

One that prevents consumers from buying an electric motor and some batteries to run around their own property on? Good luck with that!


I doubt most people buy a motor and batteries and install them. I'm willing to bet 99% of accidents happen on cheap Chinese built ebikes.
