I’ve been pretty outspoken about my support for high powered ebikes and scooters, but 70mph sounds like too much. At those kinds of speeds you’re one pothole from instant death.
Well, every person I’ve seen whipping along at 40+ mph on an ebike did not have full protective gear. Also compared to motorcycles ebikes have much thinner tires and lighter builds. Also you need a license to ride a motorcycle.
You’re not taking a gasoline bicycle up to that speed either.
If you mean motorcycles, they’re built using much more… significant parts. The wheels alone are like 10x the mass of a typical bicycle wheel, giving it significantly more stability. Everything else is built to be more capable of speed as well. It’s not a good comparison.

No different than gasoline bike

Plenty of motorcycle riders ride without any gear. But if you’re referring to the stand on scooters, than yeah, that is a death trap lol
They’re called organ donors though, riding without protection is not smart.
