I'm not a local, but the cynic in me feels this is a war on motorcycles and not cars.

Clear the streets of motorcycles to allow room for more cars.

This is the creation of a void to allow Chinese electric bikes into the country.

I, as a motorcyclist, want a e-bike, but they are trash as of now, unless you are willing to spend over $10k

I've not seen an electric motorcycle that's even slightly designed to do what I would want it to do.

They're either "ebikes" which are sold like bicycles, they're about as capable as a moped aka inappropriate for footpath and highway use.

Then you go all the way up to $20,000 electric superbikes that accelerate like a rifle bullet up to their maximum speed of 80 miles per hour, which it can sustain for about 40 minutes.

I haven't seen any evidence that anyone has attempted to make a bike that could do what my Ninja 250 could: Go 70 miles per hour for 300 miles before refueling. Oh, and for a purchase price of $4,000.

$14,000 price tag, 90 mile range. I've had morning commutes to work that thing couldn't handle.
