@meganL@sam@ai6yr@ascentale I consider any devices categorized as "e-bikes" in the US (i.e. Class 1, 2 and 3) to be legitimate e-bikes that should be allowed on bike paths and MUPs. Class 3 e-bikes, which are allowed the assistedtop speed of 28 MPH, are often not allowed on cycling infrastructure, but I don't necessarily agree with that stance.
Class-2 e-bikes can be driven solely using the throttle, as long as their maximum speed is limited to 20 MPH. Scooter-looking e-bikes, like those from Bird, are most probably Class 2. I personally don't care for them, but again, as long as they're driven in a safe manner, I'm fine with that.
