I must be officially now the old boomer yelling get off my lawn because I've had it up to here with people (99% children) riding these 80 pound e-motos on the IHT and even the roads, terrorizing trail users and cyclists on the road. It seems I can't go for a ride without one of these nitwits buzzing me while riding way too close in the bike lane, or zipping down the IHT at me, or past me at speeds at least double the 15mph speed limit. Even when out walking, I've almost been hit crossing the street because a gang of these e-motos (which are relatively silent) traveling at vehicle speeds come flying out of nowhere. Does anyone know the laws regarding the use of these things? They are big enough, fast enough, and heavy enough to warrant an M1 endorsement on a CADL as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if that's the case, but there is ZERO enforcement of speed limits and the vehicle code from what I've seen. It's only going to get worse...I thought if my time was coming, it would be at the hands of a distracted or drunk driver, now it seems more likely I'll have an incident with one of these e-moto riding children who have very little sense.

I'll go shake my fist angrily at a cloud now.
