To me, this seems nuts - 28 miles per hour on park paths?

It's been pointed out that until now, if you could ride 28 mph, you had probably
spent lots of time riding a bike. By trial and error, if nothing else, you knew
a bit about handling the bike at speed.

Now we can get prosperous newbies who can barely balance blasting along at high
speed past hikers and horses. Crazy.

For those kind of bikes here wearing a helmet is mandatory, you have to have some kind of driver licence and they are not allowed on the bike paths in some areas. I don't see a lot of them in contrast with the normal Ebikes which have taken over normal bikes for people not into sportive cycling.
