I guess we'll also need to see how good they are at enforcement of the helmet thing. When I try these out, I'm bringing my own, because sharing an ill-fitting public helmet with a stranger weirds me out.
I don't understand the speed limits...these things aren't nearly as fast as a bicycle (non-e). Not sure what you think the reason is?
The ban of e-bikes on the trail apparently is written into the city's bylaw...oh yeah...did you guys know? No e-bikes allowed on ANY multi-use trail in Kitchener or Waterloo apparently...so like...if you ride up Victoria St. the city expects you to share the road with 90km/h transport truck traffic rather than use the empty MUT...
