What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.

      In Australia at least, e-scooters are classed as ‘personal mobility device’ which is the same classification that motorised wheelchairs are in.

        In Germany they have to have a license plate, which means they’re basically treated as mopeds. Ebikes don’t need one.

        Huh, I guess that makes sense. I don’t think they fit into any category in Denver, CO. They aren’t allowed on the sidewalks so that makes them a vehicle. But they really aren’t a vehicle and are sort of pedestrians in the road.
