Framing ebikes as dangerous is beyond absurd. This biggest danger to ebikers is reckless drivers on the road and the complete lack of infrasture. As long as ebikes meet an acceptable level of quality control they are not the issue whatsoever.

In half of Europe, those standards are super reasonable given the effecient implementation of urban/transportation planning....Amsterdam/Barcelona/Munich etc. But then you get cities like Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta and limiting speed/power would put the average ebiker at a greater risk. I see injuries all the time at my place of employment but it's also cause you got 13 year olds riding Surrons at 50 mph on a sidewalk in my neighborhood.

Ebikes arent dangerous until ypu trust a car driver to not run you out of pavement and send you cartwheeling over the bars stating that they were watching me wreck and wasnt sure if i fell asleep or what caused me to crash. The EMS asked me my name what year it is and who the president is to which i answered depends on which side you are on and who you believe. To which he said thats a perfect answer so he decided that was enough questioning. Im still deaing with a broken clavical (collar bone). I added that the guy in the car lied as well as a politician, and might want to consider a new career that suits him better than professional driver. Ebikes are safe as the rider and surroundings allow them to be.

What is going to happen to all the people (myself included) that bought ebikes under the then current laws. All the money that we spent on our bikes & now they are going to change the laws & tell us we can't use them. Also ebikes technology has made great strides in the past few years. We now have bigger batteries that give us over 100 miles in range, 4 piston hydraulic brakes for safer stopping, bikes with larger more efficient motors that allow us to ride safely in traffic. How about all the people who use their ebikes to commute to work. They may have no other means of getting to work. How about all the jobs being created in the U.S. in new ebikes companies & bike shops being set up to service them. These new laws will throw many of them out of business. How about all the environmental concerns with getting people to stop using gas powered vehicles because they pollute the environment. Now that people are switching to ebikes these new laws will put them back in cars. It is counterproductive.

So what are the rules pertaining to e-trikes? Surely not that strict on them. It's just some politico trying to break his chops on this piece of legislation. 41 people. That doesn't sound like a lot to me. I bet more people die from regular bike accidents than 41. They need to quit jacking around with this kind of crap and fix the economy or a whole lot of more important things than this. But I agree, wear a helmet. A life time friend of mine was checking his mail on a little 3 wheel electric scooter and turned too quick, hit his head on the concrete and died . And that was just a little scooter.
