    That said, regulation sucks and it’s be way more fun to just go 50kmph on a bike with just a throttle. But then you are not really a bike anymore. Probably more of an electric motorcycle and would need a license and be constrained to roads.

    Indeed, then they should fall under the same legal definition as a motorcycle, with tags, insurance, driving licence, etc.
