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.

      I don’t get it, does India require speed limiters on ebikes?

        No making everything 30 km/ph so all the scooters and Ebikes go left and right of cars. To be expected people get those fatbikes that go over the speed limit. being almost impossible to get anywhere in the city is frustrating. in a few year it is just like India where no one cares about any rules on the road and crosses everything without looking.

        None as far as I know. But then we enforce speed limits less with rules and more with potholes, traffic jams and narrow roads, so it’s a moot point.
