Eventually someone will have to draw a line between eBikes and eMotorcycles. I mean, can I drive my Tesla on the golf cart paths? I could take my own electric golf cart. So much easier to just drive my electric luxury car to the course, then to each hole. Why not? It's the 'why nots' that will eventually categorize eBikes into OK for bike paths and TOO MUCH for bike paths. Just guessing really. So far there aren't enough of them where I live to pay much attention.

A fully electric Harley Davidson has a top speed near 100mph and 105HP. I'm guessing that's too much for a greenway although it could be ridden at 20mph right? Where will the eBike category end and the eMotorcycle begin? I test rode a Specialized eBike and hit 40mph on it. Pedal assist. Is that too much? Who gets to answer this question?
