THE LAWS ARE HERE! // Battery Task Force & E-bike License 2024

Task force for e-bikes? Why don’t they use that task force for criminals stealing bikes or stealing cars, shoplifting and committing crimes? What the hell is wrong with these people, there are much more significant problems and this ain’t one of them.😡😡😡

E-bike task force what a joke.

Americans are killing Hobbies . Now we can't ride on my day off , can't go out at night unless government has there hands in my pockets .

It’s all about the money. They are less concerned about safety.

Lack of common sense kills people.

They need to enforce the laws of the road and not make it harder on us who follow the laws

Literally they are petitioning for control over them. I say this because I’m a motorcycle rider and have been since I was a child. It’s the careless drivers killing people not the bikes. I’ve been riding street for a few years now and have had 3 separate incidents where I would have been seriously injured by a driver had I not reacted. They aren’t kidding when they say ride like you are invisible when on 2 wheels, same goes for these e bikes. People will literally almost run you over, you honk, and they still never even see you there. There’s no accountability for the drivers of 4 wheeled vehicles and it’s taken out on bikes or motorcycles. Do Not! Vote for anything they are claiming is to protect you on your e-bike. It’s just so they can implement further regulation of them. Don’t fall for the trap.

I'm pretty sure this whole thing about having to register and get a "license" to operate an ebike is just about money

If they're going to limit the speed of my scooter then why don't they limit the speed of cars? The highest speed limits in the United States are 80 MPH which are in Texas and Utah. So, why do they allow cars on the road that can go over 200 MPH?

Power and money. Through control. Thats all that ALL politicians care about

That’s why I prefer to use side walk on bike it’s legal here in FLorida. Car has to come on side walk to get hit

Instead of them lowering the prices on the products, for safety reason, they want to criminalize the public for trying to find a more affordable way

If we need license, they better make a bike that could go past 60 and could go for because we will have a license and legally be able to go fast

I started riding bicyies because cars and trucks are very expensive Tickets higher insurance People running into your car Checking the oil Ugh…then the electric cars…I still gotta register a electric car or truck I’ll ride bicycles til the day I die

Where do you take your car if it breaks down? The mechanic. Where do you take your e-bike? YouTube. Because if you’re lucky enough to have a bike shop near you 99% won’t touch anything electric. They wonder why people are having problems.

The power tester would arguably be a 4th and 5th Amendment violation much like how you are not required to comply with cops' orders to lower your window for a tint tester. In this case, the 5th applies because you have the right not to offer up incriminating evidence against yourself. The burden is on the cops to come up with the evidence against you. If they take the bike by force to perform the test, it becomes a violation of the 4th. Don't let them trample over your rights.

Here is my problem with this, what I build myself should not fall under blanket laws meant to protect Corporate America. Corporate America does not want competition from small companies and wants total control. Those in government have no idea or knowledge of what we are doing and should not be the final word on this. I am a large person, I am built like a Football lineman. I am 6 foot tall and weigh 320 lbs. I am of Swedish descent, we are not small people. Think Samoan people but from the far North. A 500 watt or even 750 watt E bike is useless to me. I have a disability and am building my own E bike to help me. I was in the Military and was injured in Desert storm. My left foot had all of the bones in it crushed, and my right knee was torn and dislocated. I spent years rehabilitating my self on a stationary bike and improved my walking. I can't run or jog. I have a heavy framed mountain bike that I started riding on flat trails and paths. When it comes to hills and the pressure on my knee , I just can't do it very long or sometimes at all. With the advent of E bike technology, I saw a ray of hope. I tried current commercial e-bike technology and it just isn't enough with the limitations placed on them. I decided to build my own. Because of my size and the weight of the bike I have to ride the bare minimum wattage to work needs to be around 2000 watts on a direct drive rear hub motor. Direct drive hub motors work the best for my situation. They are smoother, quieter and the power or torque comes on in a more gradual way and my pedaling cadence is not always smooth or consistent. In the hills I need to get up speed on a downhill to try and not slow down too much on an uphill. To be safe as a biker you need to kind of keep up with traffic flow in town on city streets to remain relatively safe. I need to be able to throttle up max power from a stop or on a hill to be able to move out from an intersection or at a crosswalk. I need to be able to customize the extra torque to assist me. Sometimes I just can't get back to my point of origin without straight throttle or non pedal assist because my knee just can't go anymore or I just can't physically get up and over a hill pedaling or walking. I need a system that can change with my needs and situations. Many times I am out away from town on a highway or county road and I need to go faster than 25 mph on the shoulder. It is dangerous to be traveling at 5 miles an hour up a hill on a highway with traffic when cars are going 65 miles an hour 2 or 3 feet from you. Reaction time for drivers next to you is less if they need to move over. Government should not be getting involved with electric bikes. Electric motorcycles running on streets at 65 or 70 miles an hour is different. Not everyone 1 is 140 pounds and 5 foot tall.

Wow man you're so right this is the new BMX this is the new generation it's like I would rather people go out and ride their bikes instead of being out and doing drugs some people need this to keep their mind off of other things

Anything to generate income for these criminal states!!

Anything that puts a smile on your face is taxed
