I'm 56. I've had a motorcycle endorsement on my license since the early 1990s. I've been trained to drive forklifts, mail trucks (LLVs), and school buses. I see the problem with irresponsible riders on e-bikes and similar two-wheelers, but all the laws to address them seem to hit me, too, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the problem. I can't afford a proper electric motorcycle, and e-bikes are appealing for their smaller, lighter nature. I can keep them in the basement and they can be carried on a hitch rack. I'd love something faster on the road, though.
