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.

Ehhhhhh I can't agree. When you're pedaling it's a completely different feel and mentality. It still feels very much like a bicycle and you belong in bike lanes.

No pedaling is a motorbike and you belong on the road.

Only exemption is for physically disabled. I think they could have no pedaling and 30 km/h just so they have access to bike lanes.

Oh, great. This guy 'feels' like it's totally different? Case closed!

I know what you're trying to say, but in this case "feel" translates pretty directly you how it handles, and differentiating how they handle isn't a bad way of categorizing

Ebikes, scooters, longboards: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
