E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

      Yes but speed limited to and in bike form. I guess yeah you can argue it’s not a bike anymore but who cares? To me the important thing is that it should be allowed in bike lanes if it conforms to existing ebike standards. People with disabilities might not be able to pedal and I don’t see why they should be prohibited from using a bike lane just because their bike is powered entirely by electricity instead of just mostly.

      I think the distinction will come down to the frame and how you sit on it
