The ebike class 1/2/3 concept is stupid puritan nonsense driven by cyclist jealousy and serves only to limit the usefulness of ebikes as car replacements.

Class C bikes were prohibited to take these roads for a while but now they changed regulation to limit the speed along these paths to 30 km/h (19 mph).
