I just saw a news report here in MN that a new State law is treating any E-bike over 1,500 watts as an motorcycle and they can't be ridden on bike paths etc. it must be licensed and insured when used on public streets.

I think they were smart to get ahead of the problem before it got too big to manage.

Not sure how they determine the wattage though? maybe manufacture's specs and I suppose testing if a modified one causes an accident?
