average speed where and compared to who???Current cut out is fine and ensures ebike average speeds are similar to non assisted bikes.

average speed where and compared to who???
im not the petitioner.....so im asking you, why you think 15.6mph s adequate???
as stated, its already 20mph in the US
Didn't I already answer?but its ok for normal bikes to ride at those speeds unrestricted??
It is not OK for non assisted bikes to travel in excess of 15mph on shared paths, but it happens infrequently and so is tolerated in law.but its ok for non-assisted bikes to ride over 15.6mph on shared use paths.......and why does it make it less safe, just because its an ebike??
but this is for all riders, not just shared path usersDidn't I already answer?
No, imo, it's not OK on segregated/shared cycling facilities.
Road users on two wheels need to be fast to keep up with cars.
Shared paths users need to be slower for mine and the park's squirrels safety.
some ebikes weigh less than fully loaded touring bikes........so again your argument is mute in this caseIt is not OK for non assisted bikes to travel in excess of 15mph on shared paths, but it happens infrequently and so is tolerated in law.
The extra weight of an ebike will tend to cause more harm and damage to who or what it collides with.
I think the point most are trying to make is that if e-bikes want to increase the limit to 20 mph then they need to stay on the road - an effective banning from dedicated cycling paths and MUPs.but this is for all riders, not just shared path users
or no walkers or dogs or hikers on cycle pathsCan we have a petiton to reduce dogs lead to no more than 4 feet?

dedicated cycle paths or mixed use paths???I think the point most are trying to make is that if e-bikes want to increase the limit to 20 mph then they need to stay on the road - an effective banning from dedicated cycling paths and MUPs.
Maybe..... but you've lost me..... and I have no problem with E-bikes.a less confrontational style would still bring about the anti ebiker community with their non arguments
