Motorised bicycles, i.e. scooters and mopeds, have a speed limit of 45km/h. The speed limit is supposed to help make (young) people safer in traffic.  Unfortunately, theory is one thing, but practice in increasingly congested traffic is quite another.
I myself have a degree in traffic and own a scooter that can do 45km/h when blocked. In practice, it is proving to be dangerous to drive at that speed in the flow of traffic. Why?  The feeling of being overtaken by everybody, especially lorries, and at a small lateral safety distance is not pleasant, especially if the traffic is thicker, and furthermore the low speed causes obstruction of traffic even in a residential area.... Even on city slip roads it is impossible to keep up with the traffic because the speed limits are 60 to 70km/h. Let alone on roads outside settlements, where speeds are up to 90km/h? We are too fast for cycle lanes, too slow for the road.
All scooters with 50cc displacement and up to 4kw of power are designed to reach speeds of up to 80km/h. Without electronic or mechanical interlocking, these vehicles actually reach a top speed of 65-80km/h (depending on the model), which would be sufficient to ride safely with the flow of traffic on urban on- and off-ramps. In addition, interlocks shorten the life of the moped's or scooter's powertrain.
I therefore propose to the Government to remove this anomaly of a 45km/h speed limit in a permanent law or regulation so that motorised bicycle riders can safely participate in traffic with other vehicles. This could also eliminate the illegal modification or 'tuning' of mopeds.
However, an appropriate penalty policy would sanction all offenders, tighten police and technical inspection controls on the technical soundness of the power unit, the exhaust, to ensure that it is not illegally modified or not homologated, the light bodies, mirrors, brakes and, most importantly, the wearing of a helmet. A kidney belt could be introduced, as well as light protective clothing as part of the compulsory equipment and, of course, first aid as for real motorcyclists. However, the procedure for passing the AM category test should probably also be changed somewhat.
