More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

    I agree with the spirit of your post. Entirely.

    Yes, enforcement is certainly an issue.

    However, here in Ontario any moped that has pedals is an e-bike, legally speaking. I’ve seen one with the most limp-twisted effort to qualify as a bike and be therefore street legal. But it still has all the qualities that cause me concern.

    What we need is better classifications. A small standing e-scooter that can’t break 15kph shouldn’t be treated the same as a moped with pedals that can get 60kph.
