From what I've seen, all of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark all allow mopeds on bike paths. I presume all of the EU allows mopeds on bike paths.

Please don't quote the spam. That makes you seem like a spammer too.

Should e-trailers be allowed on the greenway?

http://www.adventure-journal.com/2012/0 ... tric-bike/So this "assist bike" goes 28 mph. It's time to start taking this seriously and call them what they are. They are motorized vehicles and they don't belong in bikelanes or on bike trails.

As it says in the first paragraph: Quote: so fast, in fact, that the top speed of 28 miles per hour violates U.S. laws governing electric bikes. It would currently be illegal to ride that bike in bikelanes or on bike trails in the US.

At that point what becomes of the recreational trails or where do people go for recreation? I thought the whole purpose of having these areas was to create a safe place/enviornment for such activities. No at all unlike providing sidewalks for pedestrians. Things going such speeds have no place among folks pushing baby strollers.
