This would be useful in Amsterdam, where bridges over canals are considered "mountains".

Amsterdam could use a route planner where you set the vehicle and it gives you the best route. The Netherlands now has:

- Bicycles

- E-bikes up to 25km/h and 250 watt (same as bicycle)

- E-bikes with wide tires (banned in certain areas)

- E-bikes going 45km/h (need to use car roads)

- Mopeds going 25km/h (need to use bicycle lanes, can't be in certain areas)

- Mopeds going 25km/h electric (similar, but can use more areas)

- Mopeds going 45km/h (need to use car roads)

- Motorcycle (need to use car roads, don't have privileges over cars other than filtering)

- Tractor / agricultural machine

- Mobility scooter (can use bicycle lanes, can absolutely not use car lanes)

- Mobility vehicle for people with a disability (can use most bicycle lanes and have more parking privileges)

- Electric wheelchair

- Light electric car / micro-car (can't use bicycle lanes, can use ferries)

- Tricycle usable with car license

- Tricycle useable with motorcycle license

And probably some more I forgot.
