IMO - there's a lot more doom & gloom being propogated than the situation on the ground warrants - I've ridden electric kick scooter(s) daily for 4 years and have yet to meet another electric rider who's been ticketed, arrested or confiscated unless they were doing something dangerous, stupid or both.
I think this is backwards. According to
this, it passed the Assembly on March 2, 2009. As of July 16th it's been sitting in the Rules committee of the Senate. I'll call my Senator again today but I'm sure they're all home.
