The ebike class 1/2/3 concept is stupid puritan nonsense driven by cyclist jealousy and serves only to limit the usefulness of ebikes as car replacements.

    It's basically impossible to enforce, but it does mean that most ebikes available for sale are class 1.

      agreed, I see it as more of an after-the-fact issue, like if some shithead is burning down the trail at 28 mph and there's an incident, they'll nail em with that plus whatever other charges
