Electric moped that works like a bicycle.
Still, the "mo" in "moped" comes from "motor". It's a vehicle with a non-human power source, just like a car.
So I find it kind of weird that they're often allowed in bike lanes, especially where those are separated from pedestrians by just a painted line on a sidewalk (or sometimes even worse, explicitly mixed in with them!).
Because there are limited resources and e-bike cyclists will be much nicer to other cyclists than cars are to any kind of cyclist. Besides that if there is an accident it won't be a fatality right away.
I don't understand, ebikes are regulated and the assistance will top at 25kmh in most EU countries, which is a very average speed for a bike without assistance.
Unless you're talking about speed bikes, that can ride faster but are regulated like a motorcycle with license plate and can't ride on cycle paths. So it's just an electric motorcycle that looks like a bicycle.
