    Yeah, I don’t think anyone would be advocating for allowing gas powered mopeds traveling at 40kph (25mph) on the sidewalk but when it’s electric they somehow feel differently about it.

    I hear the gas powered moped coming.

    Where ever we draw the line is going to be arbitrary

    Where you draw the line is arbitrary. We can instead use facts and reason.

      I didn’t draw that line - the European Union did. They probably have their facts and reasons for that but please, enlighten me about how combining pedestrians and fast moving vehicles is more reasonable.

        I’ve made no claims except that I can hear a gas powered moped coming. The burden isn’t upon me to explain.

        Appeal to authority. Instead, explain why they reached their conclusions.
