Maybe make legal ones easier to get? More cycle lanes? Allow them uber drivers to sit a test so they know how to use the overpowered ones? Then it becomes less dangerous

    I mean nothing stops Uber drivers from getting a moped license.

    The bikes are cheaper than a moped

    Because they are illegal mopeds. Manufacturing them is cheaper when they don't have to use money to pass any of the safety regulations and requirements of actual mopeds.

    you mean airbags? Crumple zones? Toxic emmisions standards?...

    That's not the reason and you know it.

    If they are built to spec, then it should be trivial for the manufacturers to make a legal version for those who want one, no? They could still keep selling the other version too, it would literally be the same vehicle after all, one would just have the required papers.
