Being good libtards we considered getting an eV. But the US eV market consists largely of expensive giant SUV and truck types or 600hp rockets.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, the problem are 20mph eBikes.
Given our usage a step up from a golf cart would have worked for us.

As we whitter, NJ is about to ban all e-Bikes and introduce its own "low-power" electric bike standards requiring registration, licencing and insurance.
It has been a riot of dis/misinformation based on no research or data.
In NJ when bad and even criminal drivers kill cyclists, "BAN THE EBIKE"

PS: Like I said, last bike I bought in Europe was in the '90s. I understand standards can be updated and changed for legal and manufacturing reasons.
This is an interesting article. It quotes ITA and GER originally using front/right...
Which Hand for which Brake?
One of the most confounding questions in cycling is this: Which hand should control which brake? In the U.S., the law requires that bikes are sold with the left hand controlling the front brake, and t...

Not so much country of purchase, as brand. But I notice that the shop's Euro brands arrive with FBrake on the left.
The last Cannondale and Trek I owned in the '90s in the UK were supplied LH.
The trend towards concealed hoses and cables means that this variance will cease, if it hasn't already.

PS: My favourite bikeshop asks more experienced riders if the they prefer "moto", Fbrake on right like motorcycles, on new builds. They have a large number of customers from Europe.
I don't mind. If you are used to driving on either side of the road bike brakes aren't a problem.

Not quite that simple. The UK, Italy, Germany, etc use front brake on the right. Only the UK drives on the left.
The US follows historic French practice.

Perhaps have a word with New Jersey legislators?

3k miles in 15 months. Quite a drop from when we ran two cars.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert, and the band or artist …
Plymouth's Van Dike where I saw so many incredible performances so the first one is rather lost in time, but I think it might have been Mott the Hoople

Don't know what's happened to that link:

N.J. e-bike bill could shift injury costs to auto insurance customers
Customers could be financially responsible for injuries to uninsured electric bike riders.

Meanwhile, people riding illegal electric motorcycles and scooter will not gaf about NJ's A6235.
Why not? NJ's hasn't applied the adequate laws it's already got?
January 9, 2026 at 4:53 PM
Meanwhile in New Jersey... the real beneficiaries will be insurance companies.
Btw, this will be a crushing blow to the few local independent bikeshops still standing. All they ever did was sell compliant eBikes and now face their trade being devastated.
