Geoff Rose (pictured), a Professor in Transport Engineering, Monash Institute of Transport Studies, Monash University, discusses the trials, challenges and opportunities of E-bikes and E-scooters in his article on The Conversation: "E-bikes and e-scooters are popular – but dangerous. A transport expert explains how to make them safer".

Geoff delves into history to tell us of an early interview about e-bikes in which a woman in Portland, Oregon, in the U.S., told him how an e-bike had enabled her to recover her life.

He urges authorities to abandon their fixation with the power of e-bikes and e-scooters and allow law enforcement to administer comparatively simple speed restrictions.
