Today, while out running errands on my hybrid, I saw an e-motorbike (this style) using the bike lane (dude also had a motorcycle helmet on).
Personally, I think these people should stay on the road like other motorbikes, as it’s clear that these are supposed to be an electric analog to ICE powered bikes.
I called this person out as well, due to my position being they actually are more of a hazard to other cyclists and pedestrians when the lanes switch to MUP’s without warning. Especially where they would be heavier than even e-bikes and would cause anyone they hit more damage than they would receive.
Oh HELL no.
As a bicyclist and a motorcyclist (and a pedestrian, and a driver) these belong on the road - both legally and safety.
They need a license plate and registration. They are road vehicles.
acoustic bikes are also road vehicles
Sure, but they don’t need a license plate and registration.
