The Association of Cycle Traders and Bicycle Association say the proposal to raise the e-bike power limit is unnecessary, risky, and the wrong approach
You’re acting like they’re saying larger, higher powered vehicles shouldn’t exist, instead of “that’s very obviously not a bike and shouldn’t be able to co-opt the label in a way that damages actual bikes”.
Yeah, more powerful ebikes are really already in the moped category and should be treated as such. Though obviously powerful ebike is most of the time better option
Also the pedaling requirement is literally what makes it electric bicycle
