The only reason this would ever be necessary is because ebikes (and bikes) have to interact with cars in dangerous spaces. Instead of punishing people who are reducing traffic by cycling, they should be building safer spaces to do so.
No. There really are these abominations like in the picture. They are unsafe and because they have pedals, they seemingly avoid enforcement of current laws.
Amsterdam is banning fat tire ebikes (that are really just low profile electric motorcycles). If there’s 1 thing that breaks the rules, ban it. I expect the rest of the Netherlands to follow suit because everyone here is complaining about them.
No, it’s because humans are inherently selfish and stupid beings that will always endanger others to avoid inconvenience and an “ebike” like the one in the picture is just a motorcycle with a licence to ignore traffic laws.

Amsterdam is not doing that. Amsterdam is currently considering banning ebikes from certain parks and pedestrian areas, specifically.
