MODERATORS
People in this thread clearly have never been to Amsterdam. We have protected bike lanes, and where there is mixed traffic, bikes have preference and are actually respected by larger vehicles.
On the other hand, there has been an increase in accidents due to electric bikes going too fast mixed with normal bikes and pedestrians.
I've been in so many close calls with e-scooter riding in sidewalks in my city. But it's always a specific kind of asshole that does that.
In my city, that specific kind of asshole is someone with multiple DUIs, since they can still legally ride an E-bike
Also eBikes in the Netherlands don't have acceleators unless they're illegally modified.
E-bikes elsewhere have accelerators and not just pedal assist? Wouldn’t that make it an electric scooter?
In the US it's really common to have an accelerator.
Interesting. If I’m not mistaken, here if it has an accelerator then it has to be registered with a license plate and it’s not considered a bicycle.
Only pedal assists electric bikes which go up to 25kph are allowed.
I think if it has pedal assist as an option it's OK, as long as it doesn't have more than a certain amount of power. I'm not certain, but I think it's something like that.
That's also my understanding.
