31 Temmuz 2026Japan Times

Osaka police have arrested two Vietnamese men for allegedly converting e-bikes to operate with throttles, allowing them to reach speeds twice as fast without pedaling. This illegal modification raises concerns about safety and compliance with local regulations regarding electric bicycles.
The investigation highlights the growing issue of e-bike modifications and their implications for public safety.
E-bikes have surged in popularity globally, particularly in urban areas where they offer a convenient mode of transport. However, the rise of illegal modifications, such as the addition of throttles, presents challenges for law enforcement and regulatory agencies tasked with maintaining safety standards.
The arrest of these two individuals underscores a broader trend of illegal modifications in the e-bike market, which poses significant risks not only to the riders but also to other road users. As e-bikes become more popular, regulatory bodies must address the loopholes that allow such conversions to occur.
