New Jersey Would Be Foolish To Require E-Bike Insurance & Registration

Actually, when we had Akita dogs we had them registered, with a rabies tag on their collar and we notified our homeowners insurance to make sure the Akita's weren't on the "banned" list. If you have certain dogs in your home and a incident happens the homeowners insurance will deny any claims and instantly drop you.

There are people who have lost their license (usually due to drinking and driving or other reckless driving) or who can't get a license because of vision or other health issues. Many of these people have turned to ebikes for transportation so that they can legally go about their business and get work to earn a living without having to rely on public transportation (which is unreliable or unavailable in many places in the United States) or expensive Ubers. Now, I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who drink and drive, but most people need to work for a living and others (children) may rely on them to pay for a home and put food on the table. These people will be either forced to break the law and drive a car, ride their ebike anyway, pay more for Ubers. My bet is they will either just get in a car anyway or continue to ride their ebikes.

Situations like this show why people look for practical ways to stay mobile and legal. Getting a proper license is still the safest path.

Probably the most detailed explanation of EU and US pedal assist ebike laws.
