IMO the e-bike classes were poorly thought out from the getgo.
The e-bike category should be limited to pedal assist types, currently Class I, and all throttle units classed as light motorcycles, since that what they are.
I have no objections to motor assist as long as it remains essentially a human powered vehicle with the level of assistance inadequate to bring it beyond typical bicycle performance.
Throttle machines can then be regulated separately based on weight and max speed.
As the above implies, I agree that allowing Class III e-(motor)bikes on bicycle paths is not very sane.
As for the rest, I continue to believe that enacting pro bike rules without publicizing them aggressively only helps litigants and does nothing to help make bicycling safer.
