The annoying bit is,. AFAIK, if you put on any electric engine over 200W
it has to pass all the **** for registration as a moped. Why don't they
raise that to 500W for licenced drivers/riders before rego and all it's
complexity? IMHO It would be safer to do the local street speed limit of
50 km/h on the road rather than use those *****ng stupid bike lanes that
cause chaos at roudabouts. Maybe have to wear an approved motorcycle
helmet too for when you plant your head into something solid.
