So right now in California, there is a huge gap between what ebikes are capable of, and what is considered a motorized scooter/motorcycle. It's starting to cause issues on roads and trails and will need to be addressed ASAP. Links below, but basically, it's trivial to build or buy an electric bike that will hit 40mph, 50mph, or more, and thousands of these bikes in all shapes and forms are already out there. Yet the law assume pedaled ebikes will top out at 28mph and then it addresses motorbikes and mopeds. With nothing in between. So all these kids (and many adults) are out there riding Surrons going 40mph+ down main roads and dirt trails, pretending they're just class 3 ebikes that need neither a driver's license nor a motorcycle license. Kids end up getting mad at cops telling them they can't ride where they're riding, but the fact is there needs to be clearer guidelines for what is and isn't an ebike. All that said, this a transformative area, mark my words. Imagine if Apple were to suddenly develop a range of smart ebikes that go up to 50mph and were linked into your health monitoring, etc. eTrikes for the huge number of retired Boomers and eBikes with knobby tires for the kiddos, and a mid range for the millennial commuter.
