Comment on Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

Umm that’s not exactly what they’re saying.

It would update a 27-year-old law to create three new classes of electric bikes based on the type of motor and how fast they can go.

Hell the ACTUAL statute is just defining what a e-bike is. You can see it here: olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2024r1/…/HB4103

It does say class 1 can be operated by anyone, but 2 and 3 can be limited to 16 and older.

That being said it does limit the top speed of an e-bike to 28 miles an hour, I assume above that it’s now a motocycle, and honestly, that might be a good thing, because at that speed they no will come out of no where (hell at 20-30 miles an hour they still will)

This is hardly as bad as the title.
