Scooters are bikes now?
- I get the impression a lot of leftpondians use "bike" to mean MC, so to them saying "ebike" when they mean "electric motorcycle" is pretty natural.
  
  Emoto or escooter are words too, and they would have been more accurate. This is not an ebike, there are no pedals and calling it one is just straight up incorrect.
Definitely NOT an ebike, but still cool. Hopefully we will see this tech in actual bikes.
- I'll guess that the day you see a sudden price drop or clearance sale in a particular ebile brand or their batteries are when new models or batteries will be announced.
  
  e-bile. Did Twitter change names again?
- That thing is limited to 25 km/h. I honestly wouldn't care if it used bicycle infrastructure at that speed, since I often pedal that fast.
That's more of an electric Vespa than an e-bike.
It is a beaut though.
That's a moped, it doesn't have pedals
- I thought mopeds did have pedals and without them its a motorbike
  
  Moped (UK) scooter (US) don't have pedals, they're gas or electric twist to go. You can get bikes that are in the form factor of a moped.
- Does this count as an e bike?
  
  Depends on local laws
  It would not in Norway
Maximum load is 75 kg.
- Including rider?? A twisted up rubber band could get a 70kg rider to 45 miles!
  
  It's the rated load as specified on the manufacturer's product page.
Very fast charge rate that is missing from most "45 mile range ebikes" LFP could be lighter. Sodium advantage includes even more resistance to "spontaneous combustion" that may be less common than feared, but still.
Sodium ion becoming mainstream is the biggest read I get from this. It ensures humanity to have limitless battery supply.
Can't use it if you're fat tho
- Or a man of average height.
  
  Average weight of an Asian male is 60kg, so they’d be just fine on one of these bikes.
