MODERATORS
There is some argument for e-scooters (the kind that you could theoretically move by kicking the ground) being used in a bike lane.
I agree that a full-size motorbike, electric or not, should not be in a bike lane.
The primary reason for bike lanes is arguably being safely overtaken by cars, due to the speed difference. Motorbikes can keep up with traffic, and will want to overtake cyclists.
Agreed on scooters, if they're low speed.
I've seen someone riding a vespa on them.... No, just no.
I'm talking about the 'electric kick scooters' - the speeds and power levels are comparable to or lower than e-bikes, but how you use them is different.
Mopeds/vespas shouldn't be in a bike lane.
Scooters are illegal in bike lanes in my area. I think they should be allowed, provided they have a max speed of 20mph (32kmh) or so.
