I hope they rethink that policy. The other evening I shared space with a guy and his steel-framed touring bike with four panniers, a saddle bag and a big handlebar bag. It easily outweighed many current e-bikes and was a huge obstacle… but allowed. My little scooter weighs 12 kg and folds up the size of a skateboard. If the policy is based on the supposed incidence of battery fires, it’s based solely on hysteria. There are scooters in thousands of homes in this city, there simply aren’t any of these spontaneous incendiary events. It reminds me of my petrol-loving family members who give me shit for parking and charging my EV inside my garage, based solely on right-wing misinformation disinformation.
