Risk of what? Getting run over? It’s actually better since 2:30 AM = less traffic. Getting assaulted and/or abducted? Good luck for would-be criminals catching up with you on foot. Even if they’re in a car, they usually have to get out of it in order to do their stuff and that limits them to running speed.

I didn’t think I’ll ever see that PuTTY guy on this part of the Internet, yet there we are lol

You know they’re illegal? E-bikes are supposed to go 25 kph (~15 mph) max and only assist when you pedal. Not the best solution when I want to get to work quite far away in the morning without being pulled over for obvious speeding on a cycleway.

Not on distances I’ll have to travel after we finally move to an office further away in a car-centric hellhole. 18 km (~10 miles). ½ hr on a motorcycle or a moped, twice as long on an (e-)bike. Nah, I’m not doing the latter in the morning when I can barely get out of my bed. And I’m not the only one complaining about the office moving.

Do electric mopeds and motorcycles count?
