Speaking for motorcyclists, I resent that statement and propose that sur rons along with standard e bikes are classified as e mopeds

It's simple, pedals and motor = moped.
Sur rons have optional pedal kits and use mountain bike components also a moped.
further defining it Mopeds can be ridden around on the streets without a licence or registration in the USA. Not the case for motorcycles.
E motorcycle would be an alta or varg. Which would not pass for a moped, and could not be ridden around on the streets without licence and registration.
Doesn't have anything to do with feelings.
yeah. keep telling yourself that
Europe may have way more acceptance of e-bikes, but you can only go 15 MPH….and that ain’t FREEEEDDOOMM

Yeah, but you can buy it.
Sounds like you have an issue with mopeds, I never said anything negative about them.
A moped (/ˈmoʊpɛd/ MOH-ped) is a type of small motorcycle, generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than full motorcycles or automobiles. The term used to mean a similar vehicle except with both bicycle pedals and a motorcycle engine. Mopeds typically travel only a bit faster than bicycles on public roads. Mopeds are distinguished from motor scooters in that the latter tend to be more powerful and subject to more regulation.[1]
That's what make us a free country. We don't have to own a globe or a moped.
Come on Gary! Is that the best knee-jerk response you have? "Common sense"? Because you ride a moped everyone else in the world is less intelligent?
Can you make the name of this thread more accurate by editing it to "this is what is wrong with everything according to Gary"
Only thing you're gonna ride is an e-HaggisBy the time you cunts catch on I'll be riding a hoverboard
Although it's an asym rim, the schwalbe XC race tires are a fairly stiff casing and have a strange bead pattern that is kind of corrugated/zig-zag and it lets out air because despite being so damn tight and stiff to get on/over the rim edge, it doesn't seal against the rim ledges. We had this problem with another rim too and the same tires, so not just limited to this one. One method involved an air compressor and second helper-nozzle inserted under the bead, but fuck that's just way too much and I just have one inflator for my electric compressor. I've done about a dozen other tire swaps during the winter, mostly fat but a few smaller ones, hell just did some 3.5s a few days before...but every single one of those was like stealing candy from a baby, just easy and smooth. It's like that zig-zag bead and the stiff casing on the schwalbe just can't seal up, not pliable enough or something or the edges of the bead aren't thick enough soft rubber to do so. Anyway it's wacky and nothing they can do now will ever make up for those couple hours I just lost.
I think last year I just left these mounted and deflated (when not in use and my training/trail wheelset was installed).
The thing is too, after my race on Saturday, I'll take these tires off and install the trail tires I'm bringing in my luggage. Those are Bontrager tires and they go on like a glove, easy and I can mount them with a hand-pump (and pre-setting the bead partially with a tire lever).

The wire bead park compound are next level on a fr560 too. One and done with Schwalbe
I haven't tried one of them but an Enduro cased Kryptotal and CushCore wasn't an issue.y‘all need to mount a conti dh tire
I am also a Schwalbe one and done guy, but mine shot off the rims at 30Psi. It was a long time ago but I like to hold grudges.
Yes, Michelin DH22 offers nearly the same xp though.y‘all need to mount a conti dh tire
DH34 checking in
Mine went on fine to a Reserve 30 ALs. I used a small air compressor but it felt like I could have done it with a floor pump.y‘all need to mount a conti dh tire
Thanks for the memory reboot.
I remember watching in slow motion as my front tire - a Muddy Mary, rolled off the rim in a berm, tube came out, wrapped around the fork arch and I went out the front door in an attempted moon shot. Weird how time slows down when you are about to die.
Only tire I have rolled completely off the rim from cornering forces. I have used up a few Schwalbe since then, so apparently I did not learn anything.
I wanted to do this on my bike, but I've had zero luck actually finding it for sale in the US.
They are on backorder, but Magura-USA has them :
