Exactly.
My government says the trigger (accelerator) is bad and made it illegal.
In usage, however, I feel WAY safer being able to accelerate (from standstill) through intersections. I once had a chain break at an inopportune moment while doing that - scary! Now my rear hub motor means there's no danger anymore.
- skeeter2020 1y agoWow. I assume you're being serious but it sounds like you shouldn't be on the roads. Stating that a trigger accelerator makes you feel "safer... there's no danger anymore" (not sure when the answer to bicycle safety is going faster...) doesn't help the rest of us.
- Rebelgecko 1y agoI kinda agree with them. Being able to accelerate more like a car makes it easier/safer to merge with cars
- joncrocks 1y agoDid they make it illegal, or did they say that this now pushes you into the 'powered vehicle' category and the need to meet the requirements that come along with that?
- trollbridge 1y agoThe government says my throttle is entirely legal. I just have to get a number plate, insurance cover, and take a riding test and get a licence. Oh, and it’s a serious crime if I cause an accident and try to flee.
