As someone who has been cycling on Calgary pathways for over 40 years, the recent proliferation of ebikes and escooters has only increased the ######bag and annoyance factor. These things can easily do 30k, and the people driving them are even less considerate of others on the paths than cyclists are. On already crowded pathways, they’ve only made matters worse.
I’m not sure why we’re even allowing motorized vehicles on the pathway system. The distinction between an e-scooter or e-bike and a moped has become pretty much arbitrary. If we’re going to draw a line on what vehicles we do allow, it seems non-motorized is a pretty clear one. It’s like the reservoir. Want to know what kind of water vessel you can take on it? If it has a motor, you can’t. Crystal clear.
