What is it with all the social media spam around E-Bikes? Pictures of the Audi mockup, the Smart mockup and now the CNet Specialized [1] article seem to be hyped endlessly by people with no obvious connection. see
https://plus.google.com/s/electric%20bicycle on most recent.

And while I'm having a moan, why don't any of the reviewers have a clue (with the exception of http://www.electricbike.com/)?

And why can't the USA (and other places) create clear and unambiguous regulations about what constitutes an unregulated, unregistered bicycle with e-assist and where you're allowed to use it? And how to test if a specific product meets the regs. Maybe then we wouldn't get every comment thread being taken over by retards who can't seem to tell the difference between a bicycle and a moped. Hey ho.

[1] Who exactly do Specialized think they're trying to fool with their marketing lies when they say "world's fastest". Do they think we're idiots? Would you buy something from somebody who thought you were an idiot?
