Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike (this style) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on).
Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it’s clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes.
I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP’s without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.
Agreed on scooters, if they’re low speed.
I’ve seen someone riding a vespa on them… No, just no.
I’m talking about the ‘electric kick scooters’ - the speeds and power levels are comparable to or lower than e-bikes, but how you use them is different.
Mopeds/vespas shouldn’t be in a bike lane.
