Toronto bans electric scooters

So....if you have one and are seen by police will they enforce it?
I see a few of them in our area and they look fun. I did tell one guy to tell his 16 year old son to watch out as he’s blowing stop signs and pulling u turns without even looking. Easy to get killed like that, and I don’t want that in front of my house as were at the stop sign he blows through.
 
Are they referring to the stand up jobs that are kind of like a push scooter? What about the classic DUI bike?
Everyone loves to hate the ebikes, but I kind of like that they're bypassing the ripoff we call the insurance industry.

Ah I was wondering if this would have any impact on e-Bikes. Too many of them look like motorbikes.

Talking about these.
They were a pia all over Waterloo. People leave them anywhere and everywhere.

"City staff also found that e-scooters provide inadequate consumer safety standards"

Apparently unlike the uber safety ebike? The blind drunk leading the blind high on ecstasy?

Mississauga sets rules for e-scooters | INsauga

With the growing popularity of e-scooters for both basic transportation as well as recreation, the City of Mississauga has recently implemented an e-scooter pilot to remind residents of the “Do’s and Don’ts” of e-scooter ownership. In Mississauga, e-scooters are allowed on roads with a posted...

Wont matter in another 24 months, legislation can't keep up with tech.

Electric unicycles are on the brink of becoming the new scourge, some can push past 70 kph

I just ordered a e-mountain bike. Peddle assist, no throttle. I'll bet that is a loop hole. Anyway I'm using mine off road. Yall with dirt bikes don't run me over ok.

It's not a loophole. Electric motor with more than 500W and it's an unlicensed uninsured motorbike (also likely a helmet ticket). Don't ride like an ass and you probably never have the chat that gets you tickets.
 
or make a convincing sticker with a dymo labeler that says 375W , not like the average constable is an electrical engineer .

I don't have mine yet but it's a 500w motor and comes with a DOT helmet. I won't be on busy streets, mostly in the ganny forest.

I didn't say there weren't 100 ways to beat the stupid laws. Just that motor vehicles that don't meet definition of ebikes are not a grey area.

The controllers limit the speed and watts to whatever is the legal requirement is. I talked to a guy with the pretend sport bike style. Apparently it's pretty easy to bypass the limiter. I saw one of them doing about 70km last week in Newmarket
