Why not?
We have a TON of ebikes i Norway and the cops regularly do checkpoints of suspected chippers in the main commute routes.
They have a little threadmill thing similar to what chiptuners use when tuning car engines that measure torque, watt and top speed.
- potato3732842 1y agoPaying cops to run a checkpoint and dyno test bikes?!! That seems like a huge waste of government resources unless the goal is to save money on other enforcement areas by instilling a message of "don't you dare goose step an inch out of line, we're watching". I suspect it's more about pandering to police supporting demographics and looking busy than it is about enforcing anything.
