Lehtos Law: NJ State Might Require All E-Bikes to Be Registered and Insured [View all]




I think if it's just an electrified bicycle and they follow the rules of bicycles, they should be treated similarly.

Perhaps, instead of a law that punishes riders, set up maximum speeds that an e-bike can go or something else that treats operability similar to bicycles. Such as street bikes typically can go upwards of 45MPH. Just spitballing here. The one good thing about an e-bike is that it reduces the wobbling that some riders exhibit when they are pedaling.
