Amsterdam is one of six European cities that will soon test a system that can remotely limit the speed of electric bicycles. Amsterdam’s traffic alderman, Melanie van der Horst, tested the system herself last week, NRC reports.

Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We’ve got rules, when people don’t follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

    Maybe in NL.
    On my bike commute (about 4km one-way) lightly down hill I can easily reach 30km/h.
    Uphill the same route (depending on how fit I am) I can more or less pull 25km/h through.

    Though I am not in a busy city. I would probably get killed with the way I am driving where I live.
