Beer bikes won't return to Prague just yet: operators to present a new concept to City Hall

The operators of beer bikes, part of the Association of Group Bike Operators (APSK), plan to negotiate with city management and work with them to create a concept that works best for both parties.

The new concept may include fewer beer bikes across Prague 1 as well, and operators may expel unruly customers or limit the amount of beer they can consume. In addition, operators may include new features like sound level meters or cameras to keep the riders in check.

In response to feedback, creators hope to have fixed entry and exit points and increase the low speed limits which people have criticized in the past.

Until city officials and APSK officials come to an agreement on a new concept for beer bikes, the beer bikes will remain off the road.

Beer bikes have been a problem in other European capitals like Amsterdam; Amsterdam banned them several years ago. In the past, officials in Prague have banned Segway vehicles and restricted so-called electric scooters.
