alt Hacker NewsEV motorbikes are already very popular with criminals in the UK. They make the perfect getaway vehicle as they are so quick and stealthy.
It’s very intimidating to see a group riding these things on the pavement and pulling wheelies, all wearing balaclavas.
These guys are a bit of a problem in Edinburgh, but not an EV-specific one; before they were using trail bikes, which were an additional nuisance with the noise.
Not sure what level of intrusive surveillance would be needed to deal with this.
