Hey Guys,
Question......
For those using their bikes on the street, what have been your experiences with the police? My bike https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=82936 is a mid drive. But, it resembles a Stealth. So, I figured I would ask you guys what experience you have had with the local authorities regarding riding a bike that looks like this on the street. I know if you ride like an idiot you will get grief for it. But, I mean just cruising. What have your experiences been?
Matt

25 meters is over about 80 feet. Thats awesome. I think I hit the 25 feet mark on my Bomber, not even 1/3 the distancemacribs said:And here I've been holding back on the getting some air time with the heavy hub. No need for feathering the throttle

Hi Matt,
I have worked behind the badge for a long time. Back in 2009, I pulled a stint of duty in traffic enforcement. As implied, my entire job revolved around traffic enforcement. No response tor calls for service or anything outside of traffic. Truth is, I hated it. I bring this up because I'd like to think I know what I am talking about when it comes to ebikes and how to not attract attention of the boys and girls in blue. In the USA, If you keep speeds at 20MPH or less, and ghost pedal, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, especially kids in school zones, you will never ever have a problem. It's really that simple. Even on that awesome monster mid drive Qulbix Raptor of yours, which I will be subscribing to right after I finish my response here, you will not have any problems. . You may get stopped by someone like me, who wants to check out your build, that's it though. BTW, got any videos coming down the pipe?

Agree with Rix, keep things civil and you will likely never have any issues. As for speed, are you going downhill just ghost pedal so you are close to what speed you would have on a regular bike. I am more worried about bad elements with sticky fingers then the police. If I park public I always use two locks, but several times when I get back there have been too much of a crowd gathering around the bike for my liking. Hence then scooter conversion. The scooter will look plain and for most people it will just look like an old scooter.

In Dallas if my bike was on fire, and the flames were 4 or 5 feet high, a cop might take notice.

Jo I ride a vector and the police is just looking really impressed when they see me in full offroad-enduro gear on my bike (imagine this "what the frock is that"-meme). Once they came from the other direction then I was heading to and I just have seen them smiling in their german police car. Maybe because of that bike + gear + offroad fullfacehelmet + a speed of 15kmph while pedaling.. I always try to stay under 25, 27, 30kmph in the city or where other cars do drive because I don´t want them to realise that Im able to ride as fast they do. Im going only crazy with the speed when Im 100% that nobody can prove that Im riding faster (at least most of the time.. Sometimes I just can´t ride slow on some forest paths.. lol) :lol:
