Makes me wonder where you draw the line between a powerful e-bike and a low power motorcycle.
It ain’t a motorcycle if the engine isn’t bigger than 50 cc, taps head.
Ok I think I understand. You need something more than an easy level Mario Kart.
Kind of, in some states it’s regulated like that, but in others it’s not addressed at all. I had a joke in my reply, where it’s true in my state that you need a motorcycle license for anything larger that 50 cc, but cc aka cubic centimeters of air displacement is a measure of Internal Combustion Engine size and has no correlation with electric vehicles. My state needs to update the regs and deal with e bikes going 25-30 mph down bike paths.

Torque should also be part of it. Plenty of 250W e bikes that make 80+ Nm.
That’s similar torque to a 750 - 800cc motorbike.
That’s usually legally defined somewhere depending on your location. Wher I am it’s defined based on rated power output of the motor.
Probably at the MoPed

Yeah in Canada we have e-bike classes, the kind that require pedal pressure to engage motor are allowed in same places as bicycles ( like walking trails etc). When they have a throttle the class changes, because more can go wrong
I saw the video, and I have to say it was amazing!
Great work by Tom Stanton here, thanks
The ol’ Thighburner 1500!
maybe the heat source is actually from thigh friction… hmmm
It also has an innovative AIO hybrid cooling system that uses both air, and blood, to keep the outer chassis cool.
Pretty cool to think that I could… make my bicycle ride marginally easier by carrying a propane torch with me and blowing fire between my legs?
