- eBike gets impounded and the jerk spends a night in jail and gets a $200 ticket, which must be paid to get his eBike back.
This soft on crime approach does not work.
"No electric power on paths" doesn't work either. Why focus on that? Just enforce the speed limit ruthlessly. It's about being a jerk, not about electric. Just like mass shootings are about being a jerk and not about the style of weapon.
Be easier to just shoot them and leave the bodies as a warning
