State Lawmakers Aim At Illegal E-Motos, But Hit E-Bikes Instead
['Ren Zaro Fitzgerald']
Streetsblog San Francisco
An illegal e-moto by Tuttio advertised as an “Electric Bike” with a top speed of 46+ mph.
They list the vehicles as e-bikes, misleading consumers on the risks and legality of their products.
The bill went after legal e-bike users — not the illegal e-moto market.
If passed, the bill would empower regulators to curb the illegal e-moto market and keep consumers safe — without punishing law-abiding e-bike riders.
Restricting low-speed, legal e-bikes will not stop e-moto riders from dying in the street.
