My government says the trigger (accelerator) is bad and made it illegal.
In usage, however, I feel WAY safer being able to accelerate (from standstill) through intersections. I once had a chain break at an inopportune moment while doing that - scary! Now my rear hub motor means there's no danger anymore.
Did they make it illegal, or did they say that this now pushes you into the 'powered vehicle' category and the need to meet the requirements that come along with that?
Wow. I assume you're being serious but it sounds like you shouldn't be on the roads. Stating that a trigger accelerator makes you feel "safer... there's no danger anymore" (not sure when the answer to bicycle safety is going faster...) doesn't help the rest of us.
