[@Thinker2-truth]

Cops don't know the Law. They are told by DAs to apply Color of Law (DMV Code) to non-commercial travel. This violates Title 18 sec. 241 & 242 (Treason). When cops violate their Oath its Treason, but the BAR (Attorneys) protect the cops because the BAR wants the money made under Color of Law and there is no risk to the BAR only the cops are committing Treason. Travel is a Right, no License or Tags required. Driving is a Privilege (commercial) License and Tags required. Getting criminals (cops) to obey the Law is difficult, ignoring the Law is what criminals do to be criminals. There are not vehicle Laws in the Constitution (Law), all vehicle Law is Corporate Policy (Color of Law).

There are laws that limit power output and top speed of e-bikes for them to be considered "bicycles".

He probably doesn't want to scrape their brains off the pavement. But unfortunately, non-punishment means they will likely do absolutely nothing about it.

Thinking the same. Hundreds if not thousands of aftermarket parts that will fit on a bike with zero mods to the actual bike.

It’s nice to have a “ bike” that can go with the traffic speed but I too think if you abuse it, eventually they will start regulating it.
