Delimited e-bikes are going to be the next brklss scandal.
Fixed.
Fortunately, there aren't too many of them yet, and those that are there only exist to motorpace hippy, before being cruelly dropped.
But joking aside, I expect that rather than cause a scandal (which probably would happen if there was a tragic death related to their use), there are probably already plenty of people lobbying for a lifting of the legal limitations on e-bikes, as they hope this would accelerate sales (which, unlike in Germany and the Netherlands, have never yet taken off here). After all, it is a motorised mode, quite fast, and 'sustainable', with an emerging industry attached to it. I expect that if all that happened, helmets would become compulsory for e-bikes, though.

At least doing 30mph on an e-bike you're not in massive oxygen debt and might actually have some spare neurons to react to shit happening on the road. I mean motorbike riders manage (for a given value of manage, since they're eleventybillion times more likely to be KSI).

Ebikes are going to be the next brklss scandal. I can feel it in my bones. As usual the police don't seem to have the resources or inclination to enforce the current rules and get rid of the mental 30 mph ones.
