Denmark already have regulations that stipulate that ebikes and escooters can't go faster than 20kmt and i feel that's reasonable. For scooters you're also required by law to wear a helmet.
We have the same/similar regulations in norway as well. I don't have an e bike, but I guess the speed limit must be annoyingly low. I often pass them on my regular bike in like 30 km/h.
I could be wrong and the speed limit is only for scooters but honestly I don’t care to look into it. I prefer my regular bike and until I’m old and incapable of using that I won’t change.
Edit: Learned a lot about this today. Cheers fellas for the replies!
It's 25km/h. There is also a 45km/h category with stricter regulation.
