Wow! Fuck that.
37mph is an insane speed for any bike being ridden outside of controlled conditions to be going, and pairing that speed cap with the fact that your average eBike enjoyer isn't usually well-versed in proper safety or cycling etiquette, it only seems like a matter of time before someone riding this new VanMoof seriously injures themselves and/or someone else just trying to get to work on a local path.

Interesting to see VanMoof reducing a bike and pushing for liberalising speed restrictions on ebikes. I definitely see a place for ebikes in transport infrastructure but concerned that liberalising laws will make pedal powered bikes feel marginalised in a space that was originally designed for them
