Disparity in maximum power output between transport modes

Cody C made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was partially successful.

From: Cody C

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

1a) Why are escooters limited to a maximum power output not exceeding 300W, but cars have no limit?

1b) Please provide the supporting evidence that was used in the the decision making process for the aforementioned power limit.

2) Is NZTA considering instituting a power output limit for cars as part of the road to zero policy? If not, what is the reason for that?

Yours faithfully,

Cody C
