- Buttes5 9y agoSeems like they're holding "e-bike" users to a ridiculous standard given how shit most people are at driving cars. There should be heavy fines for operating "e-bikes" on the sidewalk, but otherwise I don't see how they're substantially different from a motor scooter or something. That said, if you're able-bodied, and it's not your job, just use a normal bicycle.
