ID card for ebikes

[Bschap]

I'm no longer on FB but i remember their being a thread about an ID card. Basically it was make/model/class. Found this to be interesting and think i'm going to make one for myself. To go a bit further possibly putting the state law on the back of the card. You never know... All available info on one card sounds like a good idea. Has anyone heard of these?

I wouldn’t like that idea...then registration and insurance will come next...

Maybe print up a couple $100 bills at the same time. Both will be just about as useful if you get stopped by authorities. In 8,700 miles in 3 years, I've never been stopped or had to prove anything.

I pretty much agree with Rich C, except about the counterfeiting. I've never come close to being questioned about the legality of my bike, and I think the best thing to do in that regard is to ride responsibly with regard to others on the road/path. And why have a card when you have your bike? Unless it's some kind of government issued document, and I would much prefer to avoid that.

I do ride responsibly, at least I like to think I do. I live in an area where there is no bike lanes and i'm sharing the road. I deal with rude drivers almost everyday. Old school mentality. Was just a thought. Carry on

Can you say which state you are in? I've never had issues while biking on side streets in MN.

Same here. No issues in 3 years of E-riding mainly rails to trails in the Midwestern US.
