Pfft, 12 mph? Here in the Great State of Queensland, Australia we don't need trials of dangerous speeds like *checks conversion* 20 km/h. We just introduced World Leading™ road safety™ legislation restricting ebikes to 12 km/h on footpaths always, and on shared paths when overtaking pedestrians. No need for pinko rubbish like trials and "listening to public feedback". Just straight to implementing.
We wanted to put and end to dangerous behaviour like ever overtaking runners, and we certainly weren't going to let pesky technical details like there not being a legal distinction between footpaths and shared paths stop us.
Step up your game, Netherlands.
That's just to advertise normal bikes that are not speed limited 🤣
