Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down - eviltoast
Amsterdam is one of six European cities that will soon test a system that can remotely limit the speed of electric bicycles. Amsterdam’s traffic alderman, Melanie van der Horst, tested the system herself last week, NRC reports.

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.

    This actually sounds like a good proposal. Also, I disagree with the quoted comment. A system solution is miles better than regulation for the simple fact that people WILL break rules, no matter how you teach them not to.
