General Bike Thief tries to outrun electric scooter

Pretty much. I have no time for petty crime, but petty criminals are farther up my personal hierarchy than people who drive e-bikes.
Thief is a moron. He only passed up a dozen opportunities to choose escape routes that were too obstructed for the scooter to follow. All he had to do was jump a couple of curbs.

Random video (but well worth watching) about how ebikes are dangerous as fuck compared to motorbikes:

kind of a Catch-22.
if you have meth, the scooter can't catch you.
but if you have meth, you don't need to steal the bike.
without watching the video, I can only imagine Portland cyclists on e-Bikes.
LoL.
The idea that a bike with an electric motor attached to it is fundamentally different from a bike with a gas engine attached is ridiculous.
Thief is a registered sex offender, convicted rapist, and much much more...
That video was from downtown eugene
Lots of people riding battery operated stuff nowadays
Isn't it a scooter?
I know we have a very different take on bikes anyway in Europe, I drive one almost every day while over the pond it's a hobby at best.
But I think pedelecs, e-bikes and similar vehicles are fantastic options especially for older people to stay mobile.
And yes ideally they should not share a road with normal cars.
Yea, they are getting more recently and the legislative + police tries to reign it in a bit now since mainly the tourists are going a bit overboard with it. But I see it on others as well more and more now.Do you guys have these fucking app-controlled pay-by-the-mile electric scooters lying around everywhere in the city? They are huge here, you see them all over the place. Pretty handy and fun though, to be fair.

I never used one tho, no need so far.
f that thief, i wanna see him ko'd
oh
I'm talking about the masking to commit crimes under the guise of masking to prevent virus spread.
That is common here, surely criminals everywhere are enjoying the reason to mask their identity while committing crimes.
totally a reason to not wear a mask.
Masks are bad, mmmkay.
i enjoy thwarting the surveillance state, so it has it's perks for me
should electric bikes be licensed like motorcycles?
I am just pointing out the criminal aspect's embracing of it.
The shadiest people I see in town lately are certainly wearing it for that reason, they are not frail, they are not compromised, they are casing residences and property for crime.
I don't think they, or you are thwarting much at all in reality, likely training and testing it.
