Yes pedestrians have a time of it. I transported an elderly lady mowed down on the sidewalk by an ebike when she stepped out of her apartment building.
Motorcycles don’t drive on sidewalks. Some scooters and ebikes do. Terrible consequences for pedestrians.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear this. Bikes are NOT allowed on sidewalks in my town, or skateboard or anything else with wheels.
My friend’s son had to go to court when he was caught riding a skateboard on the sidewalk - judge chewed him out good.
Doesn’t stop idiots from riding bikes FAST on sidewalks, my elderly mother almost got mowed down by one. I’ve been known to scream at them if I see them - embarrassed my husband to death, even though he was in a wheelchair and was vulnerable to being run down.
“Some scooters and ebikes do.” (Ride on sidewalks)
I know that where I am it is strictly illegal to ride e bikes on the sidewalk, and in most areas of this town it is illegal to ride ANY bike on a sidewalk.
