You can see that many states classify certain e-bikes as bicycles. You can consider it BS if you like, but that doesn't change the law. I agree that it's confusing. And it's a shame when someone breaking the law interferes with other people's enjoyment. But it's good to know which laws are actually being broken. Around here, MUP speed limits are routinely ignored, but mainly by human-powered bikes. But I'm sure on the GAP it's primarily e-bikes going too fast.
