I’m not familiar with EU but some quick googling says that’s correct. Personally I would ban speed pedelecs, you just know people are going to abuse them and take them on bike paths. I say make a clear distinction between ebikes/pedelecs and scooters. Cops trying to enforce “does that go this speed or that speed” is a mess (for the user too).
Well I’m not saying just registration. I think there needs to be a gap between pedelec and scooter. Nothing inbetween that people can mistakenly think they can use on bike paths because it looks like a bike.
Good question I don’t know exactly. But places like NYC keep talking about banning ebikes entirely because of yahoos being dumb. Think along those lines.

@someguy3 @VerPoilu Yeah, anything that shouldn’t be on a bike path should need registration.

But then what is Bosch talking about here?
