Electric Bikes

Hopefully as micro-mobility takes hold, more and more cities will create spaces for parking and charging electric vehicles.

Solid state ceramic batteries may greatly advance the future of micro-mobility. They promise higher energy density and less susceptibility to thermal runaway and can be used in a wider temperature range.

E-bikes are not bicycles

The article makes a strong assertion that e-bikes are something entirely different than regular bikes and should be regulated separately.

Do you think e-bikes should always be allowed to follow the same paths and rules as regular person-powered bicycles? Or should communities treat them as something different?

This creative way to increase the adoption of micro-mobility is similar to the tax credits offered by the US federal government around electric cars.

Is it likely to draw more interest from the community? Would you be more encouraged to purchase an e-bike if you could get a voucher?

The era of more regulation may be upon us - if New York enacts more rules, it's likely that other cities will follow and insurers may even begin to exclude liabilities from Lithium battery fires.

What can the industry do now to regulate itself? Is there some reasonable amount of safety regulation that can save lives without dramatically increasing costs?
