On some things the UK is progressive, on other issues, like sustainable transport, they see it as antisocial behaviour.
You can’t get car insurance on a bike but you can still ride it in the street???
Of course e-bikes etc shouldn’t be on sidewalks or bike paths, but it should be fine for them to be in the street. That’s absurd.
E-bikes definitely belong in bike lanes. It’s only electric motorcycles that belong on the road. The difference is size and top speed.
E-bikes are electric motorcycles, there’s no difference without some top speed enforcement mechanism.
Not according to law.
Literally what I just said. The top speed of pedal assisted bikes is mostly just 15 mph. That’s bike lane speed.
