Tell me again why 40lb e-bikes and e-scooters need to be capped at some absurdly slow speed, but we don't do the same to these multi-ton weapons?
32kmph is not absurdly slow for assisted ebikes. Bozos without helmets riding the blue bixis in Montreal can be dangerous.
Additionally a lot of non-e-bixies are imported from the US, or god knows where, that seem to have no cap and do not even need pedal assist. Just pull the grip on the handlebar and you accelerate. In Europe we call those e-mopeds. But for some reason here it's an ebike.
Edit: to add, I agree. Cars should definitely have caps based on jurisdiction. But I assume it will be bypassed just like other things, and this guy would probably have been among the ones to get their hands on one of those vehicles anyway.
