Some of the most alarmist takes on Rad's limited battery recall are coming from pedalers who have never liked that Rad (or anyone) sells bikes with throttles. They would rather see 1% of the population pedaling than 100% of the population using throttle-powered bikes to get where they want to go.

I have been waiting for this Rivian ebike for so long, and it is finally here! Some really cool innovations (swappable seat/rear-end!) but only one major flaw: it still has pedals. Pedal by wire is perfect absurdity; it separates effort from transport ... and then makes you do both. v2.0 won't have.

Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger
E-bikes can legally travel at 15.5mph. But the fastest the police have seized was capable of 70mph. What will stop the rise of these souped-up and potentially fatal vehicles?
