I'm not against e-bikes/e-trikes but I do think they need some form of regulation. Kadalasan kasi walang self-awareness mga rider nila. Like pwede mo naman itabi ng konti if you're going to be slow as molasses rather than insisting to stay on the middle while a queue forms behind you.
I think banning these vehicles from the listed roads makes sense. They often are really slow and don’t carry that many people.
There are also e-trikes and bikes that only accommodate a single rider and they make the roads dangerous as they can’t keep up with the posted speed limits and people always need to go around them.
At night, it is hit or miss whether they are even lit up or have reflective tape.
I’d like to see a bigger solution to the traffic problem, but that would require real investment and effort.
But these e-trikes are too slow and don’t carry enough people in them to help.
Where I live the whole city is limited to 20mph and the ebike problem is the complete opposite. They all ride too fast smashing through red lights.
