The article is in Dutch. The city is reducing the speed on many city roadways from 50 km/hr to 30 km/hr, to increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The goal is to reduce traffic injuries and deaths by 20-30%.

As usual, carbrains on social media are complaining left and right. “Some ebikes are faster!”

I think it was due to a lack of precision, and possible complications in maintaining an even speed while changing between low gears. Mine’s a 2003 model.
