They are easy to ride and good for the environment. But are e-bikes safe for riders? Many e-bikes can go as fast as 40 km/h, which is faster than some cars.

To solve the problem, the government has made new rules for e-bikes. For example, e-bikes must have a maximum speed of 25 km/h. Riders must wear helmets and get a license for their e-bikes. These rules help make e-bike riding safer. However, some people think the rules are too strict. They say that e-bikes are convenient for short trips, and the rules may make them less useful.

Many users make their own videos to show their talents or share their lives.

Some videos have bad or false information. Some people spend too much time watching them, which affects their study or work. Moreover, watching short videos for a long time may hurt people’s eyes.
