But there slow speed and wide design (like 250 cc Honda) makes them an impediment to traffic on ALL but residential streets. So traffic backs up behind them as cars and trucks are forced to wait for room to maneuver around them. Then, at the next traffic light, they will cruise up along the curb to the front of the line, and force the entire process to start all over again. Worse still, if you deliberately pull next to the curb to prevent these shenanigans, they will just pull onto the sidewalk and cruise up to the lights that way. my wife regularly wishes she had a disintegration ray to use on bad drivers . . . I would start with ALL e-bikes.
Yes!!!! x1000 they are so irritating while driving to work. They don't require licences, so any Tom, Dick and Harry can own one regardless of driving abilities or knowledge of rules of the road.. They should be licensed just like a vehicle.
