A bike can go 30 km/h only with sustained effort, and anyone going that speed is presumably comfortable with their ride. It is tricky riding the Laurel Trail past UW, especially around the terribly designed University Ave intersection. Just imagining that putting a lot of new powered vehicles that can easily reach top speeds, operated by new users on lanes that are already overcrowded with inattentive pedestrians may cause some issues. But I guess that's what a pilot is for - maybe it will be a driver to improve the UW-adjacent trails similar to Waterloo Park.
