To be fair that is only for people who don't have an automobile driver's license. they want people who have never driven a vehicle to have some idea of the rules of the road. Not really an "ebike license".

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I can see arguments on both sides.

Problem with a lot of laws like this is inconsistent enforcement leading to charges of racism/profiling. Good chance Ebike licenses will create more troubles than solutions. Ideally parents monitor their kids, gradually giving them more freedoms as they demonstrate responsibility. Sort of like telling your kids don't leave the neighborhood. Hard to legislate that.

IMO one huge issue is distinguishing low power ebikes from electric motorcycles. Headlines almost never make the distinction. Even on this sight people throw around the "class" of ebike like it is some standard metric. Only a few states adopted the "class" standard.

IMO low power ebikes, like defined in HR 727, are nothing but a good thing. If electric motorcycles keep getting thrown into the same category as low power ebikes we risk unnecessarily restricting the good bikes.

In socal there's a group that ride their EUC's off road, and looks like mad skills to me. That reporter had a skirt so short it seemed she was the most dangerous one (sorry for getting off track).

We accomplished that with regular bikes when I was a teen. But we likely would have ridden ebikes if they existed (and were affordable).

And people posting here: please stop calling them "bike paths." They're multi-use paths.
As someone who rides a normal bike on a bike trail system all the time, I ALWAYS slow down to a very low speed when nearing pedestrians. It absolutely is the cyclist’s fault if they hit a pedestrian, because if you are going a speed where a sudden kid running in from if you does not afford you the opportunity to stop or maneuver away (of if an accident does occur - the accident will not cause anything more than a minor injury).


I see basically full throttle e-bikes on the paths now going over 35 MPH on the bike paths. I’m sorry. That is ******** deranged and dangerous.

Like I say about anyone riding aero bars on a bike path, if your prerogative is to go fast, then you should NOT be on a bike path.

We are now seeing actual motor cycles on bike paths now, because what’s the difference between a full throttle e-bike and a gas powered motor cycle?

I live in Minnesota. Salmoning like that is explicitly against the law. And, whatever moron is teaching that failed to do the most basic research because it is a LOT more dangerous. I'd bet salmoning is illegal in your state too.

Thanks for this article. I was wondering when this sort of stuff would start appearing. My observations is that so many e-bike riders are complete noobs and the bike can easily go far faster than their bike handling skills can handle. I'm glad that more people are out on a bike but they seem to eschew helmets and most cycling common sense besides not knowing what they don't know.

I agree. This is somewhat analogous to the number of railway crossing accidents in the US. Many other countries, with millions more miles of railway, have significantly far less accidents.

FIFY

"Of course EU regulations, contrary to the US, limit pedal-assist bikes to a maximum continuous rated power of no more than 250 W and a speed to 25 km/h before cutting out power, leaving you to rely your legs for more speed."

So, about 2% of the e-bikes sold are still bicycles.

Many Esnobs turn their noses up at anything less than 1000w

Good news.

But I do think Class 2 e-bikes should be treated exactly the same as mopeds and are not bicycles.

Excellent. It seems as long as you have pedals that work and legal power and speed limitations you will be considered a bicycle. I would hate to see motorized bicycles classified as motor vehicles.

Our ideas as individuals are important --- to us ---. However state law trumps my or anybody's opinion, and the "Class" system rules the roost in CA and more than half the other states. Personally, I think it's perfect.

Assuming the sector grows, and it will given the entire fleet is going to be electrified, categorization will adapt as new product niches are developed.

As a handy example, motorcycles compared to motor-driven cycles (your Vespas and such). Both need to be licensed, both can operate in traffic the same as any motor vehicle, but motor-driven scooters can't go on highways and freeways (the question of why anybody would want to can be considered separately). A motorcycle license is required and you need to be at least sixteen.

Electrics already exist in both categories, including some pretty big motorcycles.

In our city, pedestrians are allowed on all bicycle trails. There are some trails where bicycles are not allowed. All trails that allow bicycles also allow electric bikes also. Only on some trails/paths they have a line that separated pedestrians from bicyclists.

So far things are working reasonably well.
Since electric bikes are very heavy compared to a regular bike, and they often go much faster, it’s a given that if they hit a pedestrian, it’s more likely that the pedestrian might get injured. There have been few times when I had to quickly get out of the way of two e-bikers going side-by-side, chatting with each other. I’m sure that if the one who passed me missing me by some inches, had run into me and my sub-20lb bike, my bike and I would not be unharmed.
Given the mixed group of people using these trails/paths, I think that it is a good idea to restrict the e-bike speed to perhaps 20 MPH.
I’m not convinced about the local ot state government fanning fear and starting to mandate licenses etc. [We pay an annual fee to use many trails in the state. Some trails are free for use. Roads require no fee from bicyclists. If a bicyclist is stopped on trail without having purchased yearly license, the police may fine him.]
Ours is relatively small city. I can understand the situation in New York is different, much more traffic, far more chaos. Years ago, I remember watching bicyclists go in and out of lanes driving in between cars - very irresponsibly and menacingly to pedestrians crossing streets. In very high population density, everything becomes much worse. The e-bike is just a new addition. I think that with time, the current “explosion” of battery operated transportation will be managed as everyone gets accustomed to them and understand the new norms, hopefully without taxing and levying fines for everything.

Interesting. What city & state do you live in? You may want to look more deeply into your state and local laws. I learned a lot by reading up on mine here in Kenosha, WI.

There doesn't seem to be local laws relating to eBikes, but the state law is pretty robust and clear:

WI State Laws:
  • Class 1 and 2 eBikes are allowed anywhere an mBike is.
  • Class 3 eBikes are allowed on streets and in bike lanes on the streets, but not on MUPs or sidewalks.
  • Any Class 1-3 eBike or moped can park at a bike rack
Kenosha County Laws: (LINK)
  • Any class of eBike is allowed on a paved pathway or multi-use trail
  • Class 1 eMTBs are allowed on purpose-built mountain bike trails
  • Both cases above are limited to the marked speed limit or 20 mph.
  • There are no City of Kenosha-specific eBike laws yet.
There are other areas with special rules, for example the Eleroy Sparta rail trail (the 1st in the country!) says any eBike is allowed, but with a 15 mph speed limit. I think that's a smart way to do it. I'm sure they have a cop every now and then running radar or responding to complaints. Most of these "special trails" in WI have a 15 mph speed limit.

I bet if you look, your state has a similar set up.

You are correct, rules are not different. I think this is a process in motion and gradually, it will settle to a more uniform standards nationwide.
Next thing is implementation of these rules. My guess is unless someone gets in a serious enough accident where medical help (and police) has to get involved, the local police isn’t going around checking whether or not you have a class 2 or class 3 e-bike, or you have altered the speed limiter yourself. I expect, all of it to get sorted out in time.
In China e-bikes and electric scooters became a serious problem according to the CCP so they took action in their usual way - make it illegal abruptly and confiscate their private property to trash it. Evidently, people devised their solution by using motorized wheel chairs, normally used by mobility challenged people. And now you see younger people going to work buzzing around on streets in their wheel chairs - it is very interesting, we shall see how long before wheelchairs get confiscated. 🤪
