I ride by bicycle all over the land of the Model S and have had no issues hearing the various EVs wandering around.

Are you speaking as a pedestrian/cyclist/driver? What kind of speeds are people driving at?

Yes. I'm talking about electric bikes, not EVs, traveling around 10-20km....on the sidewalk.

Hehe. I think that's the difference. It is usually illegal to ride on sidewalks in the US.

If it's an electric bicycle, then since it's now "motorized", simply cannot ride on the sidewalks.

In China, it seems like almost anything goes. ;)
