> The bill defines “low speed conveyances” in Colorado law. These are small profile, low-speed vehicles that people use for transportation and recreation, including bicycles and electric bicycles, electric scooters (not including mopeds), and wheelchairs.
I think including electric bicycles in this is unwise. In a typical commute, they average the same speeds as motorcycles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM8Xli2KTzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM8Xli2KTzI
- rsanek 5y agoInteresting video. I learned from the comments that in the US, the maximum assisted speed for something to still be considered an "electric bicycle" is 28mph, ≃ 45kmh [0]. Bikes that can go this fast are actually not allowed on bike paths. 45kmh is a good amount less than the max speed the video quotes for his ebike at 60kmh, though of course that could be because he was riding downhill.
