    You know they’re illegal? E-bikes are supposed to go 25 kph (~15 mph) max and only assist when you pedal. Not the best solution when I want to get to work quite far away in the morning without being pulled over for obvious speeding on a cycleway.

      In Europe, but not the US. It’s a huge gray area here, and varies by state. We also have extremely lax traffic enforcement.

      However, I’d rather people ride those than a gas scooter, motorcycle or car any day.

      Also, I would love to have more cycleways. They are very limited here, although our city has built a few miles of them over the past 20 years.
