Which is the difficulty in regulating this, unfortunately. But from what I understand, regular e-bikes aren't as easy to modify as these fatbikes are. so it'd be a temp fix while manufacturers circumvent the ban's specific phrasing.
The problem is that they don't go above 25km/h out of the factory, they are (easily) modified to do so. And by default you need to paddle to propel yourself, but this is often bypassed as well.
Which by default are required, but they are easy to modify to use a throttle lever instead, and they tend to be modded to go 40+ km/h rather than the legal limit of 25 here in the NL.
These things are quite often modified to drive 40km/h, without paddling. And the brakes go unmaintained. much more often compared to regular bikes, according to ad.nl, which leads to difficulty stopping & as such very dangerous situations on intersections. I'm all for banning these, throughout the country.
Looking a mere 30cm in front of you for extended periods of time isn't great either, along with a lack of excercise. Not unique to computers, but there are multiple reasons which combined can make prolonged PC or phone usage unhealthy.

And the same emoji, and the score under Matt 1 matches Nathan, who is under Matt 2. And the emoji too. Almost looks like the phone was elongated, which would explain the weird artifacting too.
