Riders seem to overlook the basics, thinking bike handling is optional. If awareness and adaptability are crucial, why are so many still fixated on the motor instead of actually learning to ride? What's the deal with that?

Are you kidding me? You think it's that easy? Electric road bikes are a whole different beast compared to traditional road bikes. The added weight and power of the motor completely changes the dynamics of handling. It's not just a matter of "distributing your weight properly" or "making necessary adjustments." It takes practice and skill to master, and even experienced riders can struggle. And by the way, it's not just about balancing and stabilizing - it's about adapting to unexpected situations in traffic, which can bechaotic and unpredictable. So, before you start lecturing others, maybe you should take a hard look at your own riding skills and realize that we're not all as perfect as you seem to think you are.
So, electric road bikes are the new magic carpets, huh? Just hop on and ****, you’re a pro? It’s adorable how some people think the added weight and motor turn you into a cycling wizard overnight. But really, if you’re wobbling around like a toddler on training wheels, maybe it's time to reconsider that “expert” status.
What’s the deal with expecting to adapt to chaotic traffic without even mastering the basics? Are we just throwing caution to the wind and hoping for the best? I mean, is it really too much to ask for a little finesse when you’re navigating a two-ton SUV while teetering on your electric toy?
And let's be real—if you can’t handle a bit of weight and power, how are you even going to tackle those surprise potholes or the guy who swerves into your lane? So, what’s the magic formula here? Is it just wishful thinking, or can anyone actually learn to ride these things without looking like they’re auditioning for a circus act?

I think you're being a bit harsh, don't you? 
Electric road bikes are not as intuitive as they seem, especially for those who are new to cycling or haven't quite mastered the art of balancing. I mean, have you ever ridden an e-bike in heavy traffic? It's a whole different ball game! The added power and weight can be overwhelming, even for experienced riders.
Plus, let's be real, it's not just about distributing weight properly – it's also about anticipating the road, reading traffic, and making quick decisions. That takes practice, my friend! So, before we start pointing fingers, let's give these riders a break and offer some helpful tips instead. Who knows, we might just create a safer and more confident cycling community.

So, we’re giving newbies a pass now? Come on, if you can’t figure out how to ride a glorified bicycle with a motor, what’s the point? I mean, it’s not like they’re piloting a spaceship. If the added weight and power are throwing you off, maybe it’s time to hit the parking lot before tackling traffic. How do we expect a cycling community to thrive when half the riders look like they’re auditioning for a circus act?
