Some states treat all motorized bicycles the same, limiting only speed. Some have different laws for electrics; the 50 cc limit is common around the world. A human powered vehicle is not a motor vehicle but like pedestrians we are expected to obey traffic control measures.
How are the laws in NY? I've heard you guys are extremely anti e-vehicle(2wheel)
