I read that Bird, the e-scooter sharing company announced adding shared ebikes to their fleet. They will soon be coming to multiple cities across the world, including London and few EU capitals. Unlike Jump or Lime, they will be fitted with 52V batteries and 20amp controllers. The press release note says Cruiser Bird will be pedal assisted only (at least in EU) and is fully compliant with EU regulations, but we all know it peaks at over 1000W regardless of what the sticker says. And it's not like it looks inconspicuous either! How come this is legal in EU?
