      There are a lot of seizure laws that cops have. They don’t use any of them unless the demographic in charge of the vehicle in question is one they want to target

    Group of three young teenagers all wearing hoodies pulled over their faces nearly hit a group of schoolkids out on excursion while I was in the park this morning.

    All three were on the same electric bike. And I’ll add for the Americans in the audience that riding powered vehicles through parks is generally illegal and certainly illegal in this park. None wearing helmets and three to a bike are also both illegal.

    Cant get crushed soon enough.

      I guess if you want to ride an electric motorbike, you will need to register it and get a motorcycle license; and follow road rules relating to motorcycles. The bar is higher because the dangers are higher.

      You can pedal faster, but you cant speedup as fast as e-bikes or e-scooters. Only illegal bikes are to be destroyed.

      Yes but unassisted the mass is significantly reduced and an effort required to maintain speed. The main problem is the motobilke tier ones that dickheads, mainly kids, are using. Dyno units probably cost much less, especially long term, than healthcare cost associated with these things. Not just from them striking people but kids that lack the brainpower and experience to operate vehicles on the road, or in general.

          You know what, I’m sold. If we can’t let them give themselves or other people traumatic brain injuries, then we should hand them back to corporate social media that has been shown to be damaging to them psychologically, packed with misinformation and controlled by billionaires. There is nothing outside for children to do if not travelling the speed of motor vehicles on sidewalks or weaving through traffic, after all. It’s a bold take and I’m here for it.
