The Netherlands is free to set any laws it wants about where scooters are allowed, but if you're talking about the 25 km/h limited pedelec E-Bikes they're allowed on the bicycle lanes by an EU-wide legislation that The Netherlands is subject to.
- microcolonel 7y agoThis is for a different kind of accessibility; the one for the people you're not thinking of with your bike lanes. As somebody who likes walkable, bikeable areas; I find that a lot of "cities for people" folks are, ideologically, a couple hops away from culling the disabled to make way for their utopia. I'm only half-joking.
- contravariant 7y agoAnd frankly, assisted or not a bike-like vehicle going 25 km/h shouldn't normally be a problem on a cycling lane. They do have to be bike-like though, if you take a scooter slap some pedals on it and fill it to the brim with batteries and try to use that on a bike line then there are likely going to be problems, luckily this doesn't seem to have happened yet.
