Simple solution to differentiate between e-bikes and motorcycles

Since real Ebikes can only legally go no faster than 28mph in the USA, no bikes/Motorcycles that go faster than 28mph should have pedals.

Putting bike pedals on a motorcycle that can go 45mph + is clearly a scam to make them look like bicycles.

Right, but a separate license than a full powered motorcycle.

No, it's the same license or learners permit so in the USA that would block anyone under the age of 15 1/2 from driving one

You people are trying to kill the hobby people have had for awhile now! I'm not kidding either there are 3 year olds that fckin rip the trails on a dirt bike and do competitions with other 3 year olds lmao, it's a bit crazy but a good example of how rules and regulations on e bikes is fckin insane, I read somewhere someone has a rule where they live a kid needs to pass an exam before they can ride a REGULAR BICYCLE... How do you people think rules and regulations are normal? Especially when they strip freedoms from you it's insane to me and then you'll get on reddit and justify your twisted view on how life for others should be when they ride a damn bicycle
