Amsterdam authorities have imposed a ban on fatbikes in one of the city's top parks following complaints about the vehicles. The restriction targets the wide-tired electric bicycles that some residents view as fashionable transport and others see as disruptive on cycle paths.
Background on the Vehicles Fatbikes combine thick tires with electric assistance and have grown popular in the Netherlands, a country known for high bicycle use. City officials said the decision followed reports that the bikes were causing problems for other path users in the affected park.
The ban applies only inside the park boundaries and does not cover streets or other parks in Amsterdam. No other Dutch cities have announced similar measures at this time.
