Chargeride in the UK is not allowed free speech on the matter of Islam. He can go to prison for what he says on the internet. You'll excuse me for not showing up on Sunday for your next confusing Sermon. Climate change has existed for the entire history of climate, i.e., since creation. If...

My but you look awfully impressive inventing that strawman of "high-speed." You realize when you make up another person's position and then destroy that invented position that you are merely losing an argument with yourself, right? Please quote where I said "high speed" anything and clearly...

It would appear to me that most people here interpret use as "can you use it on the road?" rather than how you use it, meaning conduct. It is very frustrating when people only lock in to one possible meaning of a word and refusing to consider anything else. Below it is obvious that one...

Speaking of lawyers working for PeopleForBikes: Meet Matt Moore, PFB Attorney In-house counsel Matt Moore serves as part of the public face of PFB’s "clarification" efforts. In a 2026 video, "E-Bikes vs. E-Motos: Legal Distinctions, Legislative Strategies, and Regulatory Actions," and only...

Yeah I have been predicting it too. Get me a copy of your old petition and I'll give it a look. I'd like to call your attention to the problem in the Safe Speeds Act involving statistic collecting. Without a millions of miles traveled baseline, any data will be relatively meaningless and...

Indeed.

Agreed. 3 class is about stifling open source and the popular 750 watt motor.

I absolutely understand the engineering benchmark involved and that it is not a speed limit or required power cutoff. I've never been posting here for years, though I joined in 2020. The ONLY reason I keep reading is becasue of your posts. I feel compelled to speak out now because it is a...

That's maybe the best question here. I am pretty sure they will have a field day confiscating e-bikes. No concern for full faith and credit or interstate compacts. This is why we have federal laws about what is a motor vehicle or not, so no-one has to worry that their "motor vehicle" is...

I'm not about to be fooled by the idea that, since police cannot engage in 20+ M.P.H. "chases" because they are "too dangerous," we really need privacy destroying drones to enforce a problem we can't even be sure really exists since the context is vague and undefined. I agree that real...

In the public view fear is certainly going to overide consideration of law. Courts follow a pretty rigid legal and logical process though. If someone raises an argument under Cleburne and Sony as I describe above, because they are specifically arguments about socio/politically unpopular...

The e-bike laws discussed above all concern devices with two or three wheels. Many states have laws about other microbility devices that I haven't looked into. The possibility of this being an OPDMD under the ADA seems dubious to me. I'm not very sure there is any disability that could be...

Of course. But that doesn't change the fact that this is whipped up hysteria. They won't ban cars, you're right. But there is a lot of incremental stuff that will wind up as registration, like collecting the accident statistics without fault or millions of miles driven like real traffic...

PFB is right that there is a patchwork of laws. There is not a near-nationwide "standard." There are 1000+ bicycle deaths per year and only 93 deaths per year on e-bikes. "e-motos" is an ill-defined category. There is no crisis here, but because bikes are old hat an electric bicycles are...

Yearly deaths from bicycles: 1000+ Yearly deaths from e-bikes/e-motos: 93. Why isn't the news about all the bicycle deaths? Becasue that is old hat and no-one is going to tune in to hear about the Bicycle "crisis." Somethinbg new, dangerous and scary! Oh my! I'll help the local station out...

Chargeride appears to live in the UK (uses British spellings) where the whole country is saturated with immigrants practicing that religion. It is not friendly or even tolerant toward other religions. Here in the U.S. we only have enclaves, meaning you might be an outsider to Chargeride's POV...

Somebody needs to sue New Jersey, that's for certain. A nice class action sounds good. Thank you for appreciating my work. I did it for free and for the public good, since no-one else is looking out for us. If you never do wrap your head around it that's ok, just have it ready for your...

The concept of "drive system peak power" didn't really exist then, I strongly suspect. That terminology is a reaction to regulation it seems to me.

Ahhh, THAT is good to know. Thanks.

I'm suspecting there is about to be a wave of strict enforcement and that watts, even just that de minimis one watt difference, will soon matter a lot, especially in the "less than 750 watts" states. I have yet to see a "less than" 750 watts sticker. The times, they are a' changin.'
