message: A new article needs to be made called Comparison of electric bicycles, at present, the only thing we have now is a section of an article on electric scooters. See Electric_motorcycles_and_scooters#Comparison_of_select_production_residential_speed_electric_scooters_and_motorcycles However, a 55 MPH electric, 2-wheeled vehicle doesn't fall within a specifications of an electric bike, instead electric bikes are far less powerful. For example, the Yikebike attains but 15 MPH (see http://www.gizmag.com/yikebike-mini-farthing/18114/), and range is but 10-20 km so that's nowhere near that

thread_title: Comparison of electric bicycles

message: Here are a couple of external links that were recently posted:
* GoPedelec
* ExtraEnergy
These should either be integrated into the article or left off. A list of URLs is not encyclopedic. Jojalozzo 01:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links 

message: As I understand the sources, a pedelec is a bike that requires pedalling and is only assisted by the electric motor and an e-bike can operate on electric power alone. If that is so, then recent changes that modified "electric assist" for pedelecs to "pedal assist" are incorrect since a pedelec has electric assist and an e-bike has pedal assist. Jojalozzo 03:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing being assisted is the rider, therefore "pedal-assist" does not mean that the bike is being assisted by pedalling (i.e as the thing being assisted is the rider, not the bike) but that the rider is being assisted in his or her pedalling.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.117.167 (talk) 17:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of pedelec and e-bike 

message: I created a table comparing legal status between jurisdictions (countries), e.g. concerning speed and effect limits (after asking here and not getting feedback).
I think this improves readability and is useful e.g. when researching where to purchase suitable gear or where to plan a vacation.
Possible refinements:
* Nation/region links to the Electric bicycle laws article

replies: text: I question only one listing for the United States. There are 51 jurisdictions that can potentially regulate this devices: the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Then there are all the various territories, such as Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Each of these can have different laws and regulations. Wschart (talk) 18:36, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table comparing legal status between jurisdictions (countries) 

message: Now that the table is made, can all the other text concerning legal status be removed from this article and incorporated into the article Electric bicycle laws? To me it seems we have unwanted redundancy between articles right now, and the text is partially of low quality and too verbose in my opinion. Bjornte (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Blacklisted Links Found on [[Electric bicycle]] 

message: Would include a section about innovation and aftermarket kits, as GeoOrbital .  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.84.145.193 (talk) 09:15, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  GeoOrbital 

message: The article seems very out of date, especially with regard to the examples of e-bike used. It doesn't even mention e-MTBs, the development of which has been rapid and astounding. Word is that for high-end bikes electric MTBs are outselling conventional ones and they are transforming the sport. They need more attention here, and should they have their own article?

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Research Process and Methodology - FA22 - Sect 200 - Thu

message: There is a moped article, a motorized bicycle article, an electric bicycle article and scooter article. Plus more articles for 'proper' bicycles and 'proper' motorcycle. I would like these articles to be consolidated where needed, improved, and linked. If a more experienced wikipedian can help. A reasonable voice (talk) 12:36, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too many bikes 

message: E-bike use is growing in some markets, as they are seen as an eco-friendly and healthy alternative to cars, fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles,[2][3][4][5] and a less physically intense alternative to conventional bicycles.[2]
The links for this section are both old and opinion pieces. While ebike usage has probably increased, newer information is likely needed. It is also written in a way that promotes ebikes. User:WikiDan61 I would be interested in your thoughts on rephrasing if you disagree about it seeming like a statement on a Trek bike ad? A reasonable voice (talk) 14:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
