Ashlee Vance documents LA's e-bike scene, where riders push lithium-powered bikes to 80 mph and openly discuss flooding streets while breaking laws. The group celebrates their defiance, joking they're like Hells Angels but made in China, and note police haven't caught up yet.
So that cops don't fuck with you on this? I mean, so far they haven't. It feels like cheating, man. They have motorcycles, basically. I have a bicycle. Okay. How fast does it go? Max? They have 2 different versions. This one goes up to 80. We will flood the streets with our lithium steeds and break any number of laws. It's good that everyone's getting stoned before we go. Thank you everybody for coming out! All right. Woo! Like the Hells Angels, if the Hells Angels were made in China.
