RTL Nieuws
Summary
Police in Boxtel, Vught, and Sint-Michielsgestel confiscated a fatbike capable of reaching 100 km/h — 75 km/h over the legal limit. The owners received fines and the bikes were seized; a public prosecutor will decide if they can be returned. Separately, the city of Enschede has banned fatbikes with tires thicker than 7 cm from the city center during shopping hours due to safety complaints, while some youths are already looking into "skinny bikes" as an alternative.
