I would recommend to anyone to print out the laws for your state (or in this case the federal electric bicycle law), in a similar situation it could possibly avoid such problems. Keep it on your bike or in your wallet. If you can find a document that cites the actual code numbers, that's even better. I assume with the code numbers they could radio in and verify. What surprises me is how many officers were present for what shouldn't have been more than a routine traffic stop.

There are idiots everywhere.
Had the guy on the bike had a copy of ARS 28-2516, he could have handed it to the cop, and he would have gone on his way.

Where and when did this happen? Federal law supercede any state laws regarding their use.

You should think of yourselves as luck, living in America - at least you still have some rights.
In Australia, particularly, the state of Victoria, we have no rights anymore.
The police confiscated a small motorised mini-bike from a 5 year old girl, whilst under the supervision of her parents at a local park.
The local community was appalled at the ludicrous and mindless behaviour of the police.
Even after the incident went on talkback radio and callers blasted the police as idiots, the bike remained as confiscated and would not be returned to the little girl.

I think that local laws can be added to Fed
local laws can be added to Fed laws
but in many cases the courts may throw out local laws added
preferring to lean towards the Fed laws at many times -- not all times
we have a close by city -- The City of La Mesa
that has added a no motorized bicycle local law
is this legal ?? yes -- but would a judge enforce it ?? not if he's having a good day
we always hope that the judge is getting along well with his wife
last night she was truly good to him now he wishes to
share the good feelings with others....................................

Maybe I need to watch the follow up, part 2. Seems to me, he's baiting them and daring them for a confrontation. He must have strong feelings about the police being on the other side of "protect and serve". Something's off here. 7 cars? Maybe he's got a history with law enforcement we don't know about. Good theater, maybe a reality show pilot? When's the court date?
