I have 2 e-bikes: a cargo bike, and a folding mountain bike. As per Canadian law they max out at 32km/hr, and can be electric-only or pedal-assist.
Interesting to see differing regulations and enforcement.

oh yeah don’t need rules regs and enforcement, just fewer assholes
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT PLAN YOU NUMPTY. If there were a feasible way to reduce world asshole levels we would have crashed that science program like the manhatten project.
‘just make fewer assholes’ pfft
if that was possible I wouldn’t have had to make THIS FUCKING REPLY
jfc
Damn, I think you missed my point.
You can’t disproportionately impact vulnerable groups of people by setting up artificial barriers for something like an ebike.
If we’re talking about the supercharged ones, then most places already have laws around those, because they are considered something more than a basic ebike.
But if none of this is being enforced, you’re just making it easier for assholes and much harder for regular people who just want to get around cheaply and easily.
And my point still stands: driving causing a significant amount of harm, and those vehicles are being controlled by licenced drivers with vehicle registration and insurance.
Trying to force the same on micromobility devices is just backwards.
One elderly man is injured, badly, leading to his death. But it’s what the daughter’s saying that should be the fucking headline:
“The government has been far too slow to bring in proper regulations. They should need insurance, and a registration plate, be identifiable.”
thanks for restating my premise all over. this convo is done.
