Ebikes go where bikes go, that's why. They can mingle with pedestrians. They don't require a licence to operate.

- prions 2y agoClass B and C mopeds in NYC are speed limited and require a license and registration
- robertlagrant 2y agoCan you explain your point?
- prions 2y agoMopeds can only operate on streets, they cant go in bikelanes or sidewalks. They are subject to the same restrictions as cars (licensure, registration) except that they uniquely have a speed limit Not having a speed limit is unique only to private car ownership
- robertlagrant 2y agoNo, you've got it backwards. NYC categorises mopeds by top speed, where class A don't have a speed limit. As a secondary issue, you're claiming an NYC rule (that you've misconstrued) is evidence of pro-car rules worldwide, and also you're omitting motorbikes (and class A mopeds) even in NYC. The NYC classification allow relaxations of rules for class B and C mopeds. No helmet required for class C. No inspections required for B or C. These are pro-moped rules. It seem really unobjective to see them as evidence of pro-car thinking.
- adrianN 2y agoCars mingle with pedestrians and cyclists every day.
- robertlagrant 2y agoI don't see the point in arguing in bad faith. Bikes are allowed on cycle paths or even the same path as pedestrians for long stretches. It's not the same. Obviously.
- adrianN 2y agoI don't think many people want to limit cars to 20mph. It's obviously not the same.
- itishappy 2y agoRight, hence the license.
