Exactly

Right. Anyone can now climb 5000ft with an e-bike. But not everyone has the skills to descend.

​​​​​Similarly on MUPs. It took me year's to develop the stamina and most importantly skills to ride at 17mph on a MUP, but now a first time rider can do it. Skill here means anticipation, reaction etc. that comes with experience.

However the physical effort does put some limitation on it.

If you can just sit there and squeeze a throttle, you're on a motorcycle, and we already have rules for those.
Exactly
