Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down

Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We've got rules, when people don't follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

Interesting. If I’m not mistaken, here if it has an accelerator then it has to be registered with a license plate and it’s not considered a bicycle.

Only pedal assists electric bikes which go up to 25kph are allowed.

I think if it has pedal assist as an option it's OK, as long as it doesn't have more than a certain amount of power. I'm not certain, but I think it's something like that.
