Which brings up other good points about E-bikes. We’re in the “Look out, Martha! He’ll run down the kids and scare the horses” phase of E-bikes now, like the safety bike was in 1895.
There are currently three “classes” of E-bike in the US, and at least 4 in the EU. And that’s aside from people like me who build and program their own. Honest, officer, it’s a Class 1 (unless I throw this little switch next to the thumb shifter). And because we have a lot more government now than in 1895, every state has the opportunity to apply their own regulations. Meanwhile the lycra louts with their carbon road bikes are blowing by me at 25 mph without so much as an “On your left”. Do we let them on STP? BRAG? But limit E-bikes to 20 mph? So all that has to be worked out for any sanctioned ride, along with who regulates and who enforces. This is a good time to have this discussion. The e-fun is just beginning. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
