Amsterdam is one of six European cities that will soon test a system that can remotely limit the speed of electric bicycles. Amsterdam’s traffic alderman, Melanie van der Horst, tested the system herself last week, NRC reports.

Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We’ve got rules, when people don’t follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

    Good! Back to the situation of “I need to use the strength of my legs to accelerate”, much safer

          E-bikes can replace cars in far more situations than regular bicycles can.

            Okay, but would you stop calling me a “guy who (said something that you think he could say)”?
