...They seem a bit too much for an MUP or sidewalk where there are wandering kids, skaters, dog-walkers, joggers, etc. I've noticed that many of the faster cyclists that don't even use motors feel that MUP's aren't really safe at higher commuting speeds.
According to the laws here, the only type of wheeled vehicle allowed on sidewalks are wheelchairs or a bike that you are walking. Anyone riding a bike on the sidewalk, motorized or not, is already breaking the law. I still see people doing it all the time though.
I should say, the people riding bikes on the sidewalks are not the type of people that are posting here. It's little kids who obviously don't have enough homework.
