    Pretty sensible. Brings things nearly in line with EU regs. Personally though I think 20mph is just about right as a limit without really upsetting people. It’s 15.6mph here and I just don’t see the point using one if I can ride faster on most terrain under my own steam.

        Shared bike paths. If I have to nearly stop to go around a kid on a tricycle it’s no big deal since I can get back up to speed with no effort. But without the electric boost I’m more tempted to fly by to keep my speed up.

      20 mph is difficult to hold your own with cars in the street.

      Let’s use traffic calming to limit cars to 20mph too.
