It is hard to buy into how any option is enforced. Sure, maybe nyc and philly can reign it in but any suburban area enforcement is way down on the priority list.Saw this article link in a recent email from The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.

Agreed. Was in NYC yesterday and the only analog bikes I saw were locked to poles. The Santa piloted tourist tour, Door Dash and Amazon delivery e-bikes were crazy. How NJ will enforce it on the state and local level is going to be interesting. How long has there been a helmet law for U16 age group? Still see that occurring pretty regularly.
The sudden interest is because people are starting to die on ebike or from hitting people. Enforcement will still be nothing on a state level.
Just here to say this is the new Winter Shoes thread.
And if someone said it already, we will recall the peace treaty formed during the Avatar Wars and ban you.
That is all.

Yeah, I just read that. Thankfully this doesn't apply to the e-bikes we ride yet but if this thing passes it's just a matter of time before it'll include all e-bikes including ours.

My understanding is that the recent revision includes all ebikes regardless of classification.

Yes but if you keep reading it also says this: "Registration, licensing and insurance are only required for mopeds and the more powerful of e-bikes capable of traveling faster than 20 mph." Since our e-MTBs are all Class 1 e-bikes where assist stops past 20 mph, our bikes don't apply.

Which is preceded by "Currently, New Jersey has three classifications of e-bikes."
The paragraph before that:
Either way, I think it will pass. The comments on FB are overwhelming in support of the bill.

Is there anything in the bill regarding how the state would actually administrate all of that? I'm just imagining the NJDOT looking at this half-backed POS bill and going, "WTF??? You want us to do WHAT???"
How would they address riders visiting from outside NJ?
No, the current proposed bill applies to ALL e-bikes and does away with the current "Class-1,2,3" categories. The current rules are bikes faster than 20mph need to be registered.
Basically, it looks like instead of allocating the funding required to enforce the current laws/regulations, they are going to implement a new law that will be even more difficult to enforce and administrate.

It's a money maker for the state even if it's not readily enforced.

Where can you legally ride dirt on any kind of bicycle in Union County?
