    This viewpoint is exactly how this law got passed.

    No consideration for the electric bikes that either only assist when pedalling, nor throttle controlled bikes that only get to 15-20mph.

    Imagine if the laws surrounding atv’s were changed to include ‘anything with four wheels that doesn’t operate primarily on a roadway’, and now someone in an electric wheelchair needs insurance and licencing to get around ‘legally’.
