The reason I'm trying to get cities & towns which already haven't got motorized bike regulations on the books, is to be proactive. I woulld like to get them to to add reasonable regulations, but with wording to fine someone who exceeds 20 with a speeding ticket, rather than an unregistered/uninsured moped ticket. You could easily COAST down a hill faster than 20 mph...
Unfortunately, Torques' case set a precedent here... and, NOT a good one for us.
I agree, Torques. If a lot of people send EMails to the city governments, maybe we can influence their enforcement of the law to NOT include the magic mushroom legal theory of motorized bicycles. That they magically change their spots at 21 mph and 26 mph... (or, in your case, at 17 mph!)Well, they are trying to say that an orange becomes an apple when it exceeds 20 mph, then the apple becomes a banana after it exceeds 25 mph. It called ipsy dixit, the majic wand from the corrupt, dishonest, judges, prosecutors and cops in Nazisdale. A bicycle with a motor attached to it is not a motor vehicle, it's still a bicycle, no matter how fast it goes. It has a serial number NOT a vin number as a motor vehicle does. Bicycle manufacture is monitored by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), bicycles are considered consumer products. The CPSC's work is to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, bicycles, power tools, refrigerators, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals among many other items.
