Insane.
If it's serious this will be a civil disobedience job, at least as far as bikes are concerned. It would be an outrage. I am not wearing a sweaty tabard to ride a bike - I have perfectly suitable light coloured or hi-viz clothing.
On the other hand they have got themselves into a right pickle with e-scooters. They are effectively illegal in public places unless part of a trial, and in the authorised trial areas they must not be ridden on pavements or by children (anyone too young to ave at least a provisional licence). The roads aren't fit for them and many I've seen have had what looks like a child on them (or two).
The scooters are also permitted to be 500W, cf. e-bikes (EAPC's) which are limited to 250W rating and must be pedalled.
There is a potential problem with high-powered e-bikes which are really motor-bikes, which are nearly always illegal.
