Yeah companies don't like any regulation. If it were as they dream we would still live in asbestos-poisoned buildings and have electric appliances that for lack of safety regularly kill small children.

What does this industry wants? Bikes where granny can go with 50 km/h on a bike path without a helmet?

Just so long as she doesn't put it in her will. We want new generations buying new eBikes... no hand me downs.
