But, then again my ride is about as stealth as it gets. The hub motor isn't very noticeable between the front panniers. Most of the time if anyone even notices the motor, they think it is a generator for my lights.
New York is the only state that has a total ban; let's hope other states don't emulate them. Here's a wiki with some information on state laws, I don't know how out-of-date it is. It doesn't have information on all 50 states (your state is one of which the wiki's lacking information about).
