They became popular in quite a different way in UK:

  • Allow electric-assist bicycles up to 15mph
  • Turn a blind eye to everyone ignoring the power and speed limits
  • Voilà, everyone now has a 30mph unregistered motorbike on the bike path with no safety gear!

We already have this in California too. Electric bicycles can go 20 mph without pedaling, or up to 28 mph if the person is pedaling.
