...the NY Times did a series of recent articles in the Health section, remarking on how this market demographic has thus far eluded meaningful regulation.
I started a thread on it in A+S, but it got trolled into closure fairly quickly. The articles are linked there. Anybody else read the two NY times articles on e-bikes today ?

of the stuff I see here out on the MUP, 50% is styled like a motorcycle now. I guess that's what sells. I try to stay out of their way. I don't get the impression the people on them are skilled or knowledgeable.

In other news, as injury rates go up, regulation will eventually pay attention. Someone in P+R pointed out to me that 4 wheeled Neighborhood Electric Vehicles are regulated by the DMV in California. They are much more heavily regulated, need to be registered, and are limited to 25 MPH top speed.
