Certain forms of transportation are considered too "worldly," and thus, are often changed to be more in line with beliefs. In the case of bicycles, they are somtimes modified to resemble a scooter, which are acceptable in many Amish communities.

Why don't the Amish have pedals on their bikes?

The Amish often use bicycles without pedals, known as "scooters," because they prefer simple, minimalistic designs that align with their values of humility and practicality. These bikes allow for easier control and are more suitable for short distances, which is consistent with their lifestyle of limited technology. Additionally, pedal-less bikes can be seen as a way to avoid the potential for speed and competition that comes with traditional bicycles.
