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.

People in this thread clearly have never been to Amsterdam. We have protected bike lanes, and where there is mixed traffic, bikes have preference and are actually respected by larger vehicles.

On the other hand, there has been an increase in accidents due to electric bikes going too fast mixed with normal bikes and pedestrians.

I've been in so many close calls with e-scooter riding in sidewalks in my city. But it's always a specific kind of asshole that does that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

In my city, that specific kind of asshole is someone with multiple DUIs, since they can still legally ride an E-bike

Also eBikes in the Netherlands don't have acceleators unless they're illegally modified.

E-bikes elsewhere have accelerators and not just pedal assist? Wouldn’t that make it an electric scooter?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In the US it's really common to have an accelerator.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Interesting. If I’m not mistaken, here if it has an accelerator then it has to be registered with a license plate and it’s not considered a bicycle.

Only pedal assists electric bikes which go up to 25kph are allowed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I think if it has pedal assist as an option it's OK, as long as it doesn't have more than a certain amount of power. I'm not certain, but I think it's something like that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That's also my understanding.
