New Jersey: Please CALL or TEXT Governor Murphy now and ask him to veto the absurd bill passed by the state legislature requiring insurance and registration of low-speed e-bikes...details below via @rpa.org.
REMINDER: Call @govmurphy.bsky.social and tell him to vote NO on the e-bike bill!
The bill fails on safety, climate, + clarity. Call now and save low-speed e-bikes!

NJ is on the cusp of classifying these tiny bikes as motorized bicycles. Requiring a DL, registration and liability insurance. #NJlegislature #governormurphy
These little micro e-bikes are underrated. I see them all around the neighborhood. I see lots of middle aged and older folks, primarily women, using them.

Well, amongst all the e-bike turmoil is a little good news. You can use your FSA or HSA account to buy an a class 1 e-bike through Upway (after getting a medical note through your doctor or their partner Truemed).

The latest version of the NJ Senate low-speed e-bike registration, license and insurance bill proposes a 1 year ban on selling of e-bikes over the internet.
The legislature has 3 more work days to ram this bill through.
