Add support for profile that takes speed_pedelec into account
In belgium we have a seperate traffic ruling for speed pedelec's (ebike's that can go up to 45 km/h). these are mapped in osm as https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Aspeed_pedelec Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to navigate in belgium with a speed ped, so having a profile on brouter for it would be great

Hello!
Of course the "maxSpeed" is impacted, and this help to calculate the arrival time. Are there other differences?
sorry yeah, should have clarified. There is a sign in Belgium D10, which results in speed pedelecs not being allowed to ride there. So in Belgium we have more than a thousand (and many are probably still unmapped) roads with speed_pedelec=no on them. So this doesn't affect speed, but mainly routing. And I think currently there is no other routing engine that has a speed ped mode to help owners with those bikes to navigate properly
Thank for the clarification!

Yes, as polyscias explained above, a preriquisited change in Brouter (lookups.dat) is planned, I hope we can deploy it soon. After deployement it will be easy to create a new profile for speed_pedelec! regards
A further remark: In Germany, speed_pedelecs are -in contrary to bicyles and pedelecs- NOT allowed to use -cycleways (by default vorbiden, when allowed (on many "Radschnellweg" in Germany) speed_pedelec=yes is explecitly set) -cycleway=lane -oneways in reverse direction that are allowed for bicycle
No idee which rules apply worlwide! But if the same/similar rules exist in Belgium, I would create a profile that comply to the 3 rules. (so, I would not wait untill all cycleways are tagged with "speed_pedelec=no")
Regards
IIRC, pedelecs are usually considered as e-bicycles, while speed pedelecs as e-motorcycles. And motorcycles are not generally allowed to go on cycleways or lanes.
