Mopeds have already been banned from bicycle paths [1]. Reportedly scooter-related accidents went down from 53 in 2018 to 10 in 2019 [2].
Finally, for e-scooters the situation is more complicated/fluid [3]. Only approved models are allowed and you will probably need to have insurance.
E-bicyles are probably the best option if you need to commute medium distances.

- Matticus_Rex 7y agoAh, so they're just illegally using the bicycle paths. Interesting.
- mcv 7y agoIt's a confusing situation. They have only recently been banned from some bicycle paths, but not all. So you need to pay attention.
