Riding in a city centre on shared use paths and roads and places, any rider - mechanical or electric - has to be careful of course.
I've only seen this issue in the city, so I have no idea how they would go on the open road. The main thing that is very noticeable, is that these riders are going up the hills and slopes ............ and some are hundreds of yards long .......... and not turning a crank.
Anyone who has visited Plymouth city in recent years will have seen these riders. Usually young men.
For instance, from the city centre on Royal Parade all the way UP to the station. Quite a climb even as a pedestrian.
Even leaving the station for the city centre, it's a climb up to North Rd Roundabout via the shared use paths.
Two shots of Plymouth.
I have seen many a rider going up these without turning a crank.

I have no issue whatsoever about this.
The law is an ass and needs to be re-written.
Trouble with Google Streeview, it tends to flatten out the hills.
Back shortly with a profile of the hill city centre to station. I'll need to change computers to access my Ascent app records. This new MacBook won't run the old Ascent app.
