The problem implied by the parent post is probably the danger that the speed pedelecs or e-scooters pose to low speed cyclists and pedestrians. I'm not familiar with the Netherlands, but in Belgium legislation was introduced to tackle that problem. Above 25km/h, they are essentially considered motorcycles, requiring a similar driver's license and follow the motorcycle rules of the road. (https://www.vlaanderen.be/speedpedelec https://www.vlaanderen.be/speedpedelec) E-scooters are limited to 25km/h and follow cyclist rules, e.g. they cannot be used on sidewalks. The number of speed pedelecs in the Flanders region is relatively high, because many companies have started offering leased e-bikes as a way to do tax optimization. (sadly, the same tax incentive exists for car leasing, so the number of cars on the road is still too damn high)
