It may be that I'm looking at what in facyt is a hallucination, but the infographic clearly and directly mentions e-bikes as required to be registered as well. So, why the update? Or rather, please just confirn my hallucination theory, so I can start actually having fun while in this state of mind.

Steven,
Thank you for this article, as these some of these restrictions directly effect my family, however could we get a few clrifications:
1) By "Temporary restrictions" does this mean that they will ceace after September 3?
2) We all know that some rules that apply within 5th ring dont necessarily apply to 5th ring and outer, is this the case?
3) "From August 17, identity, license, and registration will be conducted on drivers." does this include Motorbike drivers? I am licenced for my motorbike, but would rather not have the hassle .. will these be checkpoints? or random stops?
4) as the above mentioned above, how does one regisister an electric scooter? When we bought our wifes electric bike, we were told that restration or plates were not necessary. is this a new thing?
Thanks for the info...
