Too late in NJ :( i now have a $2k eBike with no purpose. It’s sole use was for school pick up and drop off, but we are no longer allowed passengers with the new laws saying that eBikes are classified as mopeds.
As long as thefts are treated like cars, what’s the problem? If you have to register like a car then when it’s stolen it should be GTA.
People need to stop hitting others at motorcycle speeds.

Nah, it’s a motor vehicle and should be treated as such.
You are mistaken: It is legally distinct from a motorized vehicle and certainly should be. A motor vehicle weighs thousands of pounds and is capable of speeds in excess of 100 mph. An electric bicycle weighs well under 100 lbs and can travel no faster than 28 mph in the fastest class (3), which is something an ordinary geared bicycle is capable of.
Actual motor vehicles are not even remotely close to the same level of danger and your ignorance on the subject is staggering: They kill over 270,000 people EVERY YEAR, ebikes don’t even come remotely close to that even if you add up EVERY YEAR THEY HAVE EXISTED for reasons that should be obvious if you bother to think about it.
Putting electric bicycles in the same class of motor vehicles is absolutely ridiculous and choosing to completely ignore reality: Go look at the statistics for yourself and you will see how wrong you are.
