More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists/pedestrians. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

Enforcement will be similar to what happens today. Supply will drop. Retailers will have to decide to deal with the registration of this vehicle class, or sell a lowered powered solution.

These faster e-bikes are big problem in the denser urban areas during busy times. Cutting supply is the only practical way to deal with it. Local traffic police don’t have the time to hang out in the bike lanes all day.
