State and local leaders are looking to overhaul E-Bike regulation, so now is the time to voice your opinions to impact decisions. Current regulation is a patchwork of state and local laws, but with E-Bikes gaining in popularity, more cohesive and comprehensive rules are being sought.

Hard to argue against commuters using them on surface streets to get to work without showing up to the office in a suit and tie soaked in sweat, but would you have an issue with seeing them on a serene backcountry trail that might incur more traffic because its easier to get to because of the electric assist?

One thing is for sure, with ever improving and decreasingly expensive battery technology, E-Bikes are going to proliferate so we should all get on the same page where and when they are and aren’t allowed.
