AFAIK. The states regulate ebikes. Some states have virtually no regulation (yet). Other states have ratings and use restrictions based on the ratings.
Yes, there are different regs in different states... BUT my point was, was trying to be,
that it is easier to except a 350 watt E-Assist bike without a throttle that you MUST pedal, as a bicycle to actually get anywhere, ( to be a bicycle) than a 750 watt E-Bike with a throttle as a bicycle considering it can make it up most hills without actually pedaling, (if one chooses) like you MUST do for most/all bicycles…. It certainly IS easier to except a lower level of assist to be closer to be a bicycle than such high levels to be a bicycle, for it is me anyways...
