What does it do to public health having triple trailored road trains roll through the middle of small towns all fucking day and night? And shitty diesel tanks idling at school pickup. But we are worried about e-bikes?
To be fair heaps of new people riding e-bikes and scooters who look like absolute tools. Often carrying a passenger with no helmet. Three people on an electric scooter isn’t uncommon. If taxpayers were not subsidizing their accident treatment and rehab then leave them to it. Not hurting anyone but themselves.
Lots of bikes very obviously overpowered and much faster than 25km/h that are meant for offroad being ridden on footpaths. The people who had them before to help their commute or their aging legs tended to ride them more sensibly and legally. So many dropkicks with them now it puts me off them.

The answer is to enforce the existing laws that ban multiple people on one scooter, ban devices that are capable of going over 25 km/h, and ban riding where riding is not allowed. Introducing a new law that these people will just ignore with equal ease serves absolutely no purpose, when the problem is that people break the law because they know it’s not enforced.
