Sorry but who hurt you? No need to be rude.
My last sentence was pretty clear that when it comes to current legal label they are the same, The same as your personal bike even. To the law these are all comparable. Can ride on bikelanes, dont require any traffic license. (At least where i live)
Except your article does state some places do treat them differently:
But my point is they should not count as the same at all and thats an opinion i am free to add to this discussion, they are build differently for different usecases. They need their own respective laws fit for the areas they ride, size and max speed. There is nothing safe about allowing these on bikeslanes.
I would even say for party bikes, they don’t all compare among themselves either.
If they don’t, than courier bikes are banned, children carts are banned… these are based off courier bikes that already exist, pushed to the limits of the legislation. Just like anything else ever made really.
They have size limits and other limitations, they’re being followed, so they are defined as a bike. What about accessible four wheeled bikes for the less abled, Oops your ignorance just got those banned, well done.
Don’t like it, go cry somewhere else. You are mad at Amazon, not the legislation, go whing to someone who cares.
Why would you want to ban them? I actually quite like the concept, way better then actual cars. They just should not be in the same class as normal bikes. Them being in the same class is asking for problems.
If you ask me the current law is way overdue to overhaul the traffic code to allow many different new classes of transportation.
But who the fuck hurt you to lash out like this? Go get some sleep please.
Because that’s what your legislation limitations are gonna do…
Do you not think about this further than that? Jeeze you really are ignorant.
Lol, you messaged me, not my fault you didn’t know what you’re talking about and needed to be educated.
