E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

    I think the lines between ebike, escooter, and emotorcycle are pretty blurred right now.

    The primary delineation should be speed. This bike path has an upper limit of 30 mph, this road has a lower limit of 45 mph no matter which 2 or more wheels you’re on. And no wheels allowed on the pedestrian only sidewalk.

    The tech and use has changed enough that governments should rethink this entire space, IMHO.
