E-bikes cause all kinds of problems in traffic. Half of the rising number of victims are children!
Inspections on the street are impossible on a large scale, while shopkeepers with an RDW license would like to do this before an e-bike is allowed on the road. Unknown models that people have imported themselves will then be unable to obtain a license plate.
If e-bikes are given a license plate, the same applies to electric cargo bikes. These can be fined for speeding and banned from narrow cycle paths.
road users and first responders
on top of that:
require e-bikes to have a license plate and an orange front mudguard (possibly with a long sticker) after a type cerfication.
„Gewonden worden binnengebracht op een traumakamer, soms door een helikopterarts. Met dus hersenletsel, zware verwondingen in het aangezicht, gecompliceerde botbreuken.
Het is potentieel levensbedreigend letsel, waarbij opname en operaties nodig zijn. In sommige gevallen ook plastische chirurgie. Niet zelden is er blijvende schade.” uit De Telegraaf, 6-6-24
