Fanatics... If you are talking about me, I assure you I am NOT an E-Bike fanatic. In fact I have said over and over, that I don't think E-Bikes over 350 watts and have throttles are/should be considered bicycles, not even by the law, to make them legally bicycle allowed to ride where a regular bicycle can be ridden...
Your examples all totally ignore low powered E-Assist bikes with no throttle that you HAVE to pedal to get anywhere, all the E-Bikes you see being ridden like that are not what I am talking about...
As to the US laws that allow those over powered E-Bikes to pretend they are bicycles I too TOTALY think it is BS.
I understand the difference between a bicycle and an E-Assist bicycle and yes you are correct they are not the same, never said they were...
