I thought electric bikes and scooters was going to be the "secret". They are abundant in Netherlands bike lanes and apparently controversial.
It's a good thing since smaller vehicles are replacing cars in many places, to make it more accessible to people who can't ride a regular bike, but has some safety and regulation issues to iron out.
- edejong 7y agoI personally hate these very polluting moped abominations on the Dutch bicycle paths. They should’ve been banned (or heavily taxed) a decade ago when the Greens asked questions in parliament due to appalling emissions findings of a Dutch research institute. But, the coward politicians pointed to the EU and implicitly said the health of our bicyclists need to be decided in Brussels.
