Ur-in-a-tor@reddit
Does it use the torque sensor?
Worried_Document8668@reddit
have you ever actually pedaled a bike that's built for pedaling, to get a frame of reference?
NORTHERNTWITCH@reddit
Dude, fuck off. Let him be him.
fhwoompableCooper@reddit
I love being a cyclist, see it's got pedals!
Pretty-Yam-2854@reddit
Genuinely curious do the pedals even do anything??
Verneff@reddit
They bypass laws. That's the only thing vestigial pedals are capable of anymore.
Pretty-Yam-2854@reddit
But on a gas moped?
Verneff@reddit
Ahh, no, on OP's bike. The bike has pedals but there is only a single gear meaning it's extremely ineffective for actually getting around. That along with the horrible position for pedaling makes it obvious that the pedals are only there to abuse a loophole. Except even with that loophole it's still not a legal ebike since it has a 1000 watt motor.
Pretty-Yam-2854@reddit
There’s no way that things a 1 speed I didn’t even notice 😭
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
LMAO THE BIKE IS NOT ONE SPEED
Verneff@reddit
Yep. I'm slightly suspect of the side that the OP chose to show because of that.
fhwoompableCooper@reddit
I think these stylestechnically work but it's just to help start the motor and skirt laws
SadisticPawz@reddit
Mopeds are a distinct and legal thing. Not just "skirting laws"
fhwoompableCooper@reddit
The point being it's not legally a moped. It's a bike. That's literally the whole point of "skirting the laws"
SadisticPawz@reddit
Looks like a moped/bike to me idk
shmianco@reddit
huh??
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
This is hilarious because nobody would ask this if I posted my girlfriend's Aventon cargo bike. Both are similar ergonomically speaking, in my experience at least. However you guys can't see pass your bike biases.
FrenchFatCat@reddit
Would much rather have seen the Aventon...
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Just say your lame and don't like seeing cool shit it's okay
FrenchFatCat@reddit
Your Mrs has excellent taste in bikes, terrible taste in partners.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
All this projection over a style of bike y'all are INSANE lmao 🤣
Worried_Document8668@reddit
the humble bicycle is one of the most efficient mechanical designs humanity ever came up with. bench seat without height adjustment axes that. fat tyres and overweight frame just make it worse
if her cargo bike also doesn't have an adjustable seat and fat tyres it's also just not meant for pesalih and would have gotten the same question from me
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
You do realize that you are projecting your expectations onto someone who you don't know what their purpose & requirements for a mode of transportation may be?
dickbarone@reddit
People aren’t shitting on your need for transportation they are shitting on you for claiming this thing makes you a cyclist lol. This is virtually impossible to pedal. It’s an electric motorcycle.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Y'all aerodynamic helmets are too tight. Please lighten up 🤣 What are y'all German? Cause it's obviously a joke lmao
Buddy407@reddit
His spandex got caught around his neck, again. He always spouts that gibberish when it happens, and it looks like it happens pretty often.
PumpkinOpposite967@reddit
You're the one that used the word "cyclist" and you're upset with the consequences?
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Don't worry I'll buy some spandex little tops maybe that will get y'all of my back lmao
ChristheCourier12@reddit
Sure buddy you're a "cyclist"
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
So because you wear lil spandex shorts and I don't I'm not a cyclist?
Verneff@reddit
Because we ride bikes that are ergonomically built to be pedaled rather than some motorcycle with vestigial pedals to abuse a loophole.
dirtcamp17@reddit
I think you’re in the wrong sub
r/lostredditor
Verneff@reddit
They're treating a moped with a 1000 watt motor and no gearing like it's a standard bike. The seat isn't positioned to work for pedalling. The only reason the post hasn't been deleted from this sub for not being an ebike is because the mods are so lax on what the definition of an ebike is. The OP's bike is not classified as an ebike by most countries laws.
dirtcamp17@reddit
You’re upset it doesn’t fit your definition of an e-bike. That’s ok too.
Verneff@reddit
It doesn't fit the legal definition of an ebike in most countries.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Guess the company better lawyer up because "Verneff" says it's illegal.
inline-online@reddit
wait you're not trolling? You're actually this dumb?

ChristheCourier12@reddit
Because this is an actual ebike one can pedal. Look there's nothing wrong with wanting an electric moped/mini e-motorcycle. Hell I have one myself but it isn't an "ebike"
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
That's a good looking bike! However, I don't think you can tell me it's not an Ebike just based on how it looks without the experience of riding it yourself. Same components just a different frame & fatter tyres.
Verneff@reddit
Not the same components. It uses a 1000 watt motor which immediately precludes it from being able to be labelled as any kind of ebike.
dirtcamp17@reddit
The gate keeping on this e bike sub is wild. Why can’t we all equally hate the bikers wearing spandex and an aerodynamic helmet going 12 mph down the middle of the road demanding to be treated like a real vehicle while simultaneously running a stop sign?
inline-online@reddit
those guys are the only reason you have ANY space to exist at all
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Well thanks to them for being anal about biking infrastructure. The cool kids gonna take it from here pal.
inline-online@reddit
imagine saying this lol loser
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Grown man mad about another man riding a bike and I'm the loser? 😂
inline-online@reddit
yes you are for sure the loser lol I had an ebike when you were still a baby
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Those spandex cyclists look at me in disgust as they are ripping down pedestrian paths going 30mph and I'm cruising at 10mph
dirtcamp17@reddit
You know what makes me feel better? Taking a sip of my white claw and twisting the throttle to make it up the slight incline I’m on.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Careful they don't run you off the road after lmao
Kieferian@reddit
I stg spandex bikers are a whole different level of entitled. They really do be worse trying to death speed down shared paths and get agro when you don’t move over
Erander@reddit
But worth ripping past them in some calm place without pedestrians too
Charlie_ND@reddit
Crazy how you're being downvoted just for saying you're a cyclist. Jokes really fly over people's heads here, I guess.
Cool ride. Love the colours.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Lmao ikr & thanks! It's the Revv1 by Ride1up. The exact color I have is on sale the last I saw and it looks even better in person!
Kieferian@reddit
If the middle basket wasn’t on this, yall wouldn’t be moaning. It’s literally just a basket cage
TJBurkeSalad@reddit
Nah. The seat being directly over the rear tire and the absence of a real bottom bracket would still make calling this a bicycle a complete joke.
Kieferian@reddit
There’s lots of E-bikes that are set up like this… it’s fine. Most people aren’t concerned about how an ebike looks, they are concerned about the ahole that’s blowing 30 mph past people jogging on bike paths
inline-online@reddit
yeah and that asshole buys THIS ebike because they think it looks cool, they wouldn't even buy the ebike that looks like a regular bike and performs the same as this ebike because it doesn't look cool
thats a huge reason why people buy this stuff lol they simply think it looks cool. I had an ebike like this for like 3 week and sold it and got my motorcycle license. Anyone who doesn't feel like an idiot riding a ebike this, is very comfortable feeling like an idiot.
TJBurkeSalad@reddit
Hahaha, well said.
I still think it’s better than driving a car, and if OP is riding respectfully I will give them a pass today.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
I bet you were shoved inside lockers growing up.
Apart_Bit_6846@reddit
The person who buys an ebice that looks like this is 'the ahole that’s blowing 30+mph past people jogging on busy trails/paths'
Michael-Brady-99@reddit
I really doubt that is fun to pedal. This is a moped with pedals as a loop hole.
I say this having owned an Ariel Rider X-class. I thought moped style would be a relaxing was to get around. The handling sucks, pedaling sucks and at the end of the day it’s underpowered as a moped, so not great at that either.
Jump_and_Drop@reddit
It's likely not even considered a moped. In my state mopeds are limited to 30 MPH. This would probably be considered a motorcycle. It's not even a loophole bike if it goes over 28 mph and the motor is over 750 watts (in a lot of the US at least). Cops just probably don't know or care so people get away with having these bikes without registering them.
dirtcamp17@reddit
The Revv1 ships as a class 2 e-bike, has a 750w motor, and will do 28mph in “off road” mode. It’s a “cafe racer” *style* e-bike but is certainly not a motorcycle.
Jump_and_Drop@reddit
My bad, it looks like the "ebikes" that go way past that 28 mph limit that I see plastered online all the time.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Anyone who has a Revv1 will tell you it's actually not bad pedalling. I keep it at its lowest assist setting and enjoy it. Maybe I'm just the right height for my bike, I'm 5'11.
Shredzz@reddit
Makes sense. I can't imagine any of the bikes with non-adjustable seats are fun to pedal. You'd have to be the exact perfect height/inseam for it to not be a massive pain in the ass.
jhw528@reddit
It’s a joke guys relax
shishio_mak0to@reddit
It's all fun and games until New Jersey's stupid anti e-bike law becomes the nationwide standard thanks to chodes like OP 😂
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
what the hell did I do besides post a picture of my bike 😂
dirtcamp17@reddit
People fail to the description
letanard@reddit
Nice rage bait 😃
But more seriously, it's a e-bike, but an e-bike styled as a moped, with moped tyres (as said by manufacturer), moped weight (42kg), moped seat, battery placed up against all considerations of center of mass, but allowing it to look like a motorcycle tank, a motorcycle style throttle, and a single speed. It only has pedals because "This design bypasses the regulatory needs of a moped", as said on the website 😄
Still, don't care, I'd rather see more of those than cars.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Lol agreed! We need regulations against minors operating anything motorized not outright banning anything that "just looks too fast" The less people driving cars the better imo
queen_ravenx@reddit
bcj would have a field day with this one
msh3loony@reddit
and they sure did
Ancient-Chinglish@reddit
“cyclist” 😂
godver3@reddit
Exactly my comment. I imagine this dude pulling up to some nylon clad fifty year olds - “what up my fellow cyclists” lmao.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
I will 100% do this 🤣
Veggyhed@reddit
Definitely would not call you a cyclist
Justinreinsma@reddit
I had a moped style ebike for a while. I had to get rid of it because it was just too big for condo living, but it was so amazing to have something that could take a passenger.
So fun to go out in the summer with ny girlfriend and go to parks and get ice cream and stuff on it.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
I carried my gf for a quick grocery run once so far & it was so fun! I got the passenger attachment for that same reason! It is definitely not as convenient as say a scooter or smaller frame but I'm enjoying rn :)

Cool emoto. Without battery can you still pedal it any distance? Thats what a ebicycle can do.

It's giving old school motorcycle vibes
Ashamed_Patient5760@reddit
People like this are the reason why many jurisdictions are adding such strict legislation that is ruining the hobby for everyone else.
atlasraven@reddit
You have no basis to believe this person did anything wrong. You just don't like their style of bike.
TJBurkeSalad@reddit
They didn’t say they did anything wrong. They are talking about blatant e-motos fucking up people who are actually commuting on legal Class 1 and 2 e-bikes.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
My bike is a Class 2 Ebike. It's nothing near an electric motorcycle and the frame just leans into people who like that particular aesthetic. What's the problem?
Ashamed_Patient5760@reddit
That is the exact point I was trying to make, thank you
WORD_2_UR_MOTHA@reddit
Why? What are they doing exactly?
Ashamed_Patient5760@reddit
It's the fact that this "e-bike" only have pedals so it can use ebike classifications and be allowed on bike lane and trails. When it clearly should a moped/motorcycle. There are quite a lot of people who use these in my area, and they go excessive speeds. Lot of them have a button to turn off the limiting features. It's literally screwing up the hobby for everyone else.
Just look at New Jersey and what they did to combat these "e-bikes", it literally screwed over all ebike users.
WORD_2_UR_MOTHA@reddit
So, it seems like you are levying blame on this person for the actions of some others because they own similar bikes. I could argue that you are doing to this person what others do to us, blame us for some other shitheads who drive like shit.
Ashamed_Patient5760@reddit
There is only one reason to buy these type of e-bikes with 1500+ watt motors and sturdy frame construction clearly meant to handle the stresses of higher speeds. It's solely so you can skirt the legislation on mopeds and motorcycles. It's not just about how people use them, it's the fact they are abusing the e-bike classification system and it's going to screw regular e-bike users just like they did in NJ. I'm against people abusing this shit. Not just how some people who drive like shit as you say.
meta4our@reddit
This looks way more like a moped than an e bike…
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
That's because it's an ebike in the style of a moped. That's why my Aventon authorized bike shop services it and quickly too. Matter of fact I've never been turned away because it uses standard bike parts.
