I had no idea that exoskeleton assist rigs were a thing. I was picturing a giant beetle riding a bike.

Legally, yes. The drive train on bikes has something else to say.

Laws are created by humans. What a surprise that there isn't already a law forbidding something that human common sense tells you not to do.

That being said, I would love to see a video of somebody wearing an exosceleton pedalling away like crazy on a normal bycicle.

Watched a video that people using it, it fare worst than ebike in terms of how long you can ride it. It getting toasty quickly. I'd say if you have a mid drive and a good gear range you will likely have no issue with climbing. As for the speed limit, just get a motorcycle, no need none of those fancy thing.

In Amsterdam, and perhaps throughout the Netherlands, you can ride gas-powered scooters in the bike lanes. Bikes and scooters also have right-of-way against pedestrians.

The limits on e-bikes are intended to protect the rider from a catastrophic failure of the bike.

Bike frames just aren't designed to be strong enough to withstand the forces endured by heavier vehicles like motorbikes.

It's trivial to put an unlimited e-bike kit on a regular bike and zip around at 60km/h but there's a real can / should question that needs to be ignored.

If you want to go faster than an e-bike get a proper vehicle.

Just buy an electric trail bike.

!micromobility@lemmy.world will flip out about the new exo-bike!

Jokes aside, the limit would be how much force you could apply before something fails, but they could also make specialized reinforced bikes for the frame to hook into if this ever caught on.
