That’s what they tell you, but it’s just to make noise.
Electric bikes like Zero have actually lower collision rates than ICE bikes, and motorcyclist love to whine about cars, but 1/3 of crashes are all alone, 1/3 are their fault. The anti car bullshit is just tribalism.
There is definitely an element of Tribalism. But in my experience you have to maneuver to avoid cars coming into your space more often on a bike or motorcycle than you do in a car. Not that it is constant, but it’s a one or two times a week vs a couple times a month in a car. You’re just less visible since you’re so much smaller. Not that loud exhaust is a good fix, haha.
