The safety organisation VeiligheidNL estimates that 5,000 fatbike riders are treated in A&E [ i.e Accident & Emergency] departments each year, on the basis of a recent sample of hospitals. “And we also see that especially these young people aged from 12 to 15 have the most accidents,” said the spokesperson Tom de Beus.
Now Amsterdam’s head of transport, Melanie van der Horst, has said “unorthodox measures” are needed and has announced that she will ban these heavy electric bikes from city parks, starting in the Vondelpark. Like the city of Enschede, which is also drawing up a city centre ban, she is acting on a stream of requests “begging me to ban the fatbikes”.
Maybe you should nave not tried to spin a decision about enforcing traffic rules as something about people’s race.
The problem, and it seems you still do not understand it, is that these kind of ebike are more powerfull than vehicles for which you need a driver’s license.
The simple question is: why I should need a driver’s license for a moped that (legally) cannot be faster than 45 Km/h and not for a fatbike that is faster (and often less secure) ?
