Regular bikes are just as likely to pose a hazard. Ebikes (limited to 20 mph) aren't usually the fastest bikes on the road -- road bikers cruise aster than 20mp

I think NYC law here is seriously misguided
- penrod 13y agoRoad cyclists in normal urban commuting situations (ie not in a pace line) do not cruise anywhere close to 20mph. Ebikes (limited to 20 mph) aren't usually the fastest bikes on the road Anecdotally, I am a reasonably fast commuter cyclist and have been passed by ebikes many times. I have overtaken an ebike exactly never.
- tln 13y agoFair point. My experience is as an ebike rider on a long flat bike trail; while I did pass 90%+, I also couldn't keep up with many serious cyclists. I still think NYC's push to keep them outlawed is ridiculous and counterproductive.
