Opinion: Let Oregon kids ride Class 1 e-bikes – BikePortland

As a resident and regular biker of and within Portland, I am a regular reader of BikePortland. Jonathan recently published this piece regarding Oregons restrictions on minors using e-bikes.

Bicycling Reviews the Ford F-150 Lightning

My wife and I bought e-bikes this year, and we agreed that that purchase was really a highlight of 2022 for us. That lead me down the road of buying more and more accessories for them: a rack for the car, weatherproof mittens that stay on the handle bars, even a thermally insulated bag to carry a pizza box home. That’s why I had a good chuckle at the headline of Bicycling’s review of the Ford F-150 Lightning: “The Ultimate e-bike Accessory”. Well, at nearly $100k, I sure hope that’s the end of the e-bike accessory market. The review is a good read, especially if you’re also interested in eventually converting to some EV and intend to take it out for a day to hike or bike.
