=v= Holland has different license plates depending on the
upper speed the manufacturer says it can do. These are abused;
the wrong plates are put on the wrong gadgetfietsen so that the
rider has access to pathways designed for bicycles. So now the
police have had to set up surprise stops where the motorgadget
is run on a set of rollers to see what its speed actually is.
=v= To answer the question posed in the Subject: line, access
to policies and places designed for lower speed and nonmotorized
conveyance are why marketers bother calling it a bicycle. And
why they are lobbying bicycle advocacy organizations nationwide
for buy-in.
