Pa bike laws.

[Pickleball Pete]

Does anyone know if there is a active effort in Pennsylvania to update the Ebike laws? I recently read that the Heritage Trail in York County will be issuing large fines for violating their no ebike laws. Are there any groups in York or Lancaster County that have contacted their local government official to open a discussion to amend their current policies. From what I read their decision to ban ebikes is based on flawed information.
I have sent an email to Mindy Fee's office in Manheim related to the ebike laws. I am hoping to get a reply back that will open the door for more dialog.

Lots of information on the ban.

Although Pennsylvania treats ebikes as bicycles on roads and state park land, counties and municipalities can make their own laws.

Thanks for the reply
Does anyone have the figures on the average age of E bike riders or how many of the riders are seniors? I image the riders are mainly seniors but I could be wrong.
