    As a person who hates Electric Bikes, I am for this.

    I watch them speed by, way too close most times, while I bicycle on safe areas (especially, Bicycle <ONLY & NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES> Paths). All (slow-fast) Electric Bikes have been needing serious regulating from the beginning.
    The only thing I dislike about this regulating aspect is it seems to only regulate low speed Electric Bikes.

      If you think that people who already ignore laws like those on speeds and safe passing distances are not simply going to also ignore this new law, then you are illogical and likely to be disappointed. The main effect of this law will be to further reduce the number of law-abiding e-bike riders and put more cars on the roads.

      Don’t let your hatred for some e-bike riders make you agree with some truly awful short-sighted laws.
