They're basically classified as MOTORCYCLES now - license, registration, insurance, MOTORCYCLE helmets, and most of all: CAR ROADS ONLY.

@moira I know, I know, it's so absurdly stupid and I'm sorry our outgoing governor signed the stupid thing on his way out the door. There is at least some time before it takes effect; hopefully that gives us time to at least somewhat undo this misguided mess.

@moira gonna be something when all those ebike riders are pushed onto the street and into traffic with cars as per this law.
