THEY ARE NOT "FAST E-BIKES." E-BIKES ARE NOT FAST, BY DEFINITION. ANY BIKE THAT IS FAST IS CATEGORICALLY SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN E-BIKE, NAMELY, AN ILLEGAL E-MOTORCYCLE.

Actual e-bikes are being made illegal for shit they did not do because the powers that be cannot be bothered to understand the difference.

It is fucking despicable that even a publication like Electrek is contributing to the confusion with a shitty headline like that!
