    My understanding is that the federal government considers them to be motorized vehicles, it becomes an issue on trails. The insurance industry needs to get their act together. They are not pedal bikes.

      It does not. Ebikes are not motor vehicles as long as they adhere to class 1-3 federal classifications.

        Makes sense. So especially with those guidelines the insurance industry needs to get on the ball. That $1000 amount in the thread you also posted in is pretty sorry imo.

          Yeah, no kidding: There are tons of ebikes out there that cost many times that much. Seems like kind of a scam on the part of the insurance companies.
