The problem with electric bikes is that they are too quiet to draw any attention to the rider. They will only be a success when they invent an obnoxiously noisy ebike.

As a former rider who had several near misses, I can assure you noise is less effective than some people assert it is.

Imagine how dangerous it would be if motorbikes didn't make that annoying whine. Those derestricted exhaust manufacturers are doing the lord's work by alerting everyone to the presence of a bald and freshly divorced middle aged man in an ill fitting leather jumpsuit.

So you're saying they should have a non-optional built in speaker playing fox screams?

I'll only buy a bike that makes a goat scream that changes pitch and intensity as the speed goes up.

Yeah, but strapping the goat to the bike every time is a real pain. Been there, amiright?

I'd want a customisable one with nyancat playing nonstop when i move.
