I just fold the cable back on itself under the spiral wrap to loose the slack. No risk of snagging on anything and easy to access when necessary.

Nothing really new here. Most of the NJ requirements you mention have been in place for many years for registering motor vehicles & trailers. It's a shame though that they now also apply to ebikes. I wonder what's next. Wheelchairs, unpowered bicycles, strollers, roller skates ????

Now that's a "low rider" if I ever saw one! At least he doesn't have to worry about the springs when he carries a heavy load!

Actually, the Townie Go was one of the bikes I test rode in 2017. Among other things, it was a class 1 bike then, and I wanted a throttle. I see the newer 7D version is a class 2 but it wasn't available back then. Since I'm a cobbler, I also didn't like the proprietary Trek (Electra) electrical...

I'm also 6' 2" and when I was ebike shopping, I wanted a cruiser style with a more upright riding position. The selection was pretty slim back then, so I chose a bike with most of what I wanted and added a stem riser and different handlebars with a more comfortable back sweep. This idea greatly...

I've been using a Steer Stopper device on my bikes to hold my bars in place for several years: https://steerstopper.com/ A cheap luggage lock can also be used as a deterrent for a casual ride off thief. Pricey at $109, and just as easy to cut as a bungee, but it's always in place so you...

There is such a wide variety of possible handlebar configurations, I guess all this comes down to personal preference. What works for some may not for all, so YMMV. With my fat fingers, I have trouble with touch screens. While they're great to look at, I much prefer buttons & switches...

I use a Nordictrack G-LE...

Actually, Three Mile Island is seeking FERC restart approval to power a Microsoft facility: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/constellation-three-mile-island-crane-nuclear-ferc-waiver/821836/

I carry long cargo in my pickup using one of these extenders, which fits in a receiver hitch...

Or to get the politician who endorsed the law reelected.

I don't like sitting on the ground or kneeling to check tire pressure either. That's one of the reasons a TPM system is so attractive to me. Now, I check the tires while the bike is still on the rack. That way the valves are at eye level. No help if the bike is already on the ground though. I...

Laws governing this vary. In my location, any pedestrian in a crosswalk has the right of way. This includes places where crosswalks cross bike lanes. Since I never know what the laws are in the numerous places I ride, I always yield to anyone in a crosswalk. YMMV.

Interesting idea though. If the TPM system were compact enough, I might try it on my bars. I would like to know my tire pressure without having to use a gauge. It could tell you in advance if you have a slow leak and give you time to react before it went completely flat. This one from Amazon is...

A 3 year old thread, but new ideas are always welcome. In my case I wrecked two different handlebar mounted smartphones due to the heavy vibration from the rough trails I ride. In both cases, it damaged the cameras. I now use bike computers, GPS and a smartwatch to get alerts from the phone...

I need to charge the Bluetooth paddle shifter twice per season. The derailleur is powered by the bike battery. Not a big issue for me.

I carry a short USB cable and charge mine via the USB port on my bikes display.

No cap. I couldn't find a helmet big enough to fit properly if I wore one. I use an oversize visor to handle low sun angles.

You can't pump your own gas in NJ either.

Couldn't they have just changed the laws instead of removing the circles?
