I love Scooter style BIKES. I sell them and service them and they really are bikes. They are much safer on public paths then Open Frame bikes, roller bladers and people wearing headphones. They also are more comfortable and more practical then riding a pedal powered bike...
That better :0)
I agree, Scooter style bikes are not BICYCLES, but by law during the 3 year pilot program they are permitted to travel wherever a bicycle is. They are not considered motorized vehicles. They only assit up to 32km. They have pedals that are capable of propelling the machine and have an electric motor rated for not more the 500 watts continuous measured at the shaft.
