Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike (this style) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on).
Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it’s clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes.
I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP’s without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.
Disagree. Ebikes should be allowed, provided the rider is using pedal assist and not just gunning it.
Motorcycles, both ICE and BEV, aren’t allowed ever.
If we exclude ebikes generally, we’ll discourage the average person from cycling for transportation. There should be a maximum speed and a “no passing” rule (if you want to pass, you need to use the regular road lane).
