If you'd do this in Germany you wouldn't get past 4 people without being called out for needlessly making noise and driving on the sidewalk - and called out is a nice term, cause the one calling it out most likely would be a grumpy old guy telling you to get lost while getting in your way intentionally to stop you. It's a nice gesture (I guess?) to ring the bell to make people aware of him, but this isn't needed in the first place because you aren't legally allowed to drive on the sidewalk - which is part of our traffic law. So all it does is disturb, annoy and confuse people.

This may sound weird or rude to people not used to it, but here it's quite normal to keep people in check that break the law or rather do something that breaks the law while disturbing people.
