I haven't understand everything, which was said in the youtube, what were the problems, the cops have made? I don't know the Canadian laws, but in Germany the police cannot say anything to that, it's in the juristic meaning nothing more than a bicycle. If it has a front and a back lamp (the little dynamo-powered are enough), a red reflector on the back, orange side reflectors on the wheels, two independent brakes and a bicycle bell, it's o.k. and you are allowed to take a ride everywhere, where bicycles are allowed. No plates, no vehicle-papers, no driver's license are required. These things only goes for engine-powered vehicles. The only license-related rule is, that you can loose you car-drivers-license, when the cops catch you totally drunken on a bicycle (more than 1.6 per mille) -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 09:44:53 |

A propos "Chocolat" - sorry, but I must again a bit off-topic. Never try US-made chocolate with peanuts!  They use salted peanuts! ![[:puke]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/puke.gif "[:puke]") @dsl: this is worse even than salted butter. |

I would imagine that they would be in the least impeding traffic. When a motorist comes up on a bicyclist they will assume that the bike would be going slower than traffic (and can pass them accordingly) but when a person comes up on a car they do not expect it to be going a bicycles speed and could collide with it. I don't know about the laws in Canada but I do know that here in North Carolina the legal definition of bicycle is: -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 11:00:15 |

We can list that under "custom made" I guess  I do not know what is the rule for pedal cars with more than two wheels, but usually you see lots of these in the streets on seaside: ![[Image: cuistax.jpg]](http://a.imageshack.us/img705/9171/cuistax.jpg "http://a.imageshack.us/img705/9171/cuistax.jpg") From what I heard, you are supposed to have a driving licence to take it on streets (else you have to stay on the dyke along the sea), but it is strange since you can drive some little cars without licence (e.g. Aixam, etc.) Maybe it is also linked to the number of people in it? -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 11:14:02 |

No, in Germany you don't a license for (which one???), because they are only required for motorized vehicles. And no insurance either. For any other kind of motorized vehicles you need one here, so also for electric wheelchairs, these microcars for handicapped, even for the bicycles with the tiny support-engine at the pedals and even motorized skateboards and pocket bikes. Because it's neary impossible to find an insurance for packet bikes and motorized skateboards, you aren't allowed to use them on public roads. Same with motorized (fuel engine or electric, this doesn't matter) children toys. So they are only allowed on private ground. |

tonkaTRACKER: the definition of bicycle, which I know, doesn't say, that it must have two wheels in tandem design. So these threewheel-bicycles for handcapped are regular bicycles, too: Link to "dreirad-fuer-erwachsene.de" To be precise: only that ones without electric supporting! And the vehicle, Antoine has posted, is human powered, too, so even when 12 or more people (there are such vehiccles, for example for rent for party-tours at tourism-places) it doesn't reach the status of a "Kraftfahrzeug", we say in German, a vehicle, which runs motorized with an own engine (the type of engine doesn't matter). All these rules with registration, insurance and so on, are only going for motorized vehicles. O.k., these pedalo-vehicles aren't "bi"cycles, but still human powered, so the basic definition doesn't change. -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 12:02:22 |

In the UK, since 1992, bicycles have to meet British Standards specifications in order to be sold by a retailer for road use. In assembling your own bicycle or having a custom built bicycle made you only have to show it meets the normal form of construction, they do not need to be tested against the specification. From 2009 the British Standards specifications were superseeded by European Committee for Standardization specifications for pedal bicycles. Therefore other pedal powered types of machine would not be road-legal I guess. I guess all other EEC countries are implimenting the same regulations. |

@ ingo that wasn't "my" definition of bicycle, just the legal definition of the state I live in, but back to my original comment about the police. It is the Police Department's responsibility to enforce the laws and also to protect the citizens so when an officer sees something that he deems unsafe then it his job to correct it. If I remember the video correctly (it has been over a year since I actually watched the entire video) The car in question had no working lights in the rear or at all) and that in its self is reason to say that it is unsafe. I am not sure about the brakes on the car either but a car (even if it is just a shell) is quite a bit heavier than a bike. -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 13:12:02 |

tonkaTRACKER, I think your comments would apply to most police forces. I would expect the officiers to use their judgement regarding safety on anything not manufactured commercially. Any unconventional pedal-powered machine would automatically raise safety issues, be stopped immediately on the highway and almost certainly be prevented from being used. |

The issue for the police would probably be less about the construction of the vehicle itself, but whether it creates a hazard for other road users due to slowness and fully occupying a lane. Similar issues stop those mobility scooters for old folk being road usable or licenced. |
