But a Cebu City councilor had another take on this issue.
Councilor Rey Gealon, during the Cebu City’s regular session on Wednesday, November 27, voiced out his opposition in prohibiting e-bikes.
“I understand that there are concerns regarding safety and road regulation. However, rather than imposing an outright prohibition, I believe we should focus on regulating and integrating e-bikes safely into our transportation system,” Gealon said.
So should e-bikes be banned or just regulated from the streets?
