Can you inform me of what other industries and vehicles you think should not be regulated other than just ebikes?

So door number two.

Why why why?

You don’t need to take a safety course if you’ve passed the motorcycle driving test, you don’t need to take it to the dmv for inspections or pay yearly fees -it’s a one time $23 fee- and you don’t need liability insurance

And then it's the law to take the lane? Drivers will go nuts.

Some of us do this without an electric motor anyway

You never use a bike lane

Less and less given the state of them and the bad luck with flats I’ve had lately. I know your point was that e-bikes that are suddenly now not e-bikes would by law not have the option of using bike lanes, and honestly I’m here for it, let’s all take the lane.

In practice I imagine most ebike riders will continue to use whichever infrastructure options they feel safest using and nothing will really change.

Guilty here.

Except for when it is the shoulder of the road I’m on or unavoidable.
