good. if they speed, it should be treated as a motor vehicle speeding ticket. 20mph over limit in my state is a mandatory court appearance.
Ok, thats fine for bikes, but scooters? Nah, no limits. I saw a person in San Antonio shooting down the sidewalk, (which they are not supposed to be on) clip a hand rail and I tell you what… they ground their teeth on asphalt while sliding face first in full scorpion form. So many lessons were learned that day.
Probably get downvoted to hell, but don’t ride anything on the sidewalk. It’s not called a sidebike or sidescooter is it? There are many cities in the US where you can get a hefty ticket for riding a bike or scooter on the sidewalk. It’s for pedestrians.
edit: I ride bikes – just not on the sidewalk. I also understand that some cities won’t invest in bike lanes – and I definitely sympathize with that.
Do not understand why. Current Florida law says, pedestrians always have the right-of-way over bikes, manual or electric. If I am on the sidewalk, I always yield to them.
Getting hit at 10MPH is still going to cause damage.
It’s fun how much people act like bikes and scooters are so dangerous, yet lawmakers take zero steps to do anything about how many car related deaths and injuries.
I was hit by a e-bike while standing on a corner waiting for a crossing light. I will never have full use of my left arm again, so I’m no all for this legislation
Hows riding your bike like in the US. On the right most side of the road?
Do drivers still try to honk at you and shit?
