Hello friends~Governor Murphy seems to be unaware of the need to promote low-speed e-bikes as a safe, equitable alternative to driving a car. Please take a look at the APCSC blog which was posted today.🔗in bio. apcompletestreets.org/governor-murphy-you-made-a-mistake/Despite thousands of objections from organizations and advocates across New Jersey, Governor Murphy has signed the “e-bike” bill S4834/A623 into law.Restricting low-speed e-bikes will not address the real problem of high-speed e-motos and cars, and will not help make our streets safer.Residents of Asbury Park who don’t own cars deserve to have the option to use e-bikes without prohibitive restrictions.NJ already has a 2019 law that requires registration, a license, and insurance for Class 3 e-bikes, which has NEVER been implemented as it should have been.Conflating low-speed e-bikes with high-speed e-motos is misguided, and inequitable.Who’s with us⁉️Please call the sponsors and cosponsors of the bill, (and the senators and Assembly members listed on the blog post), and voice opposition to S4834 / A6235 :⭐Senator Nicholas Scutari (Primary Sponsor and Senate President):(732)-827- 7480⭐Senator Vin Gopal (Key Co-sponsor ): (732) 704-3808⭐Senator Raj Mukherji (Co-sponsor): (201) 626-4000@vin.gopal @donlonpeterpaul @mikiesherrill @govmurphy #ebikes #ebikelaw ...

Stop new legislation that limits disabled and adaptive e-bike and e-trike riders!“For my son Jesse’s 13th birthday, we bought him an electric trike. When he was growing up, he could never learn to ride a two-wheel bike. The combination of pedaling, balancing, steering, and making rapid decisions was simply too much for his brain to process. It wasn’t a lack of effort — it was a neurological reality. But in one single day — the day he got his e-trike — his life changed.”Link 🔗in biowww.change.org/p/stop-new-legislation-that-limits-disabled-and-adaptive-e-bike-and-e-trike-riders ...

The final version, described below, includes new amendments but continues to place unnecessary and burdensome restrictions on low-speed e-bikes while leaving higher-risk vehicles unregulated.This bill was rushed through during the legislative lame duck session, and passed through committees and full floor votes in both houses. It is now on Governor Murphy’s desk waiting to be signed into law. ... See MoreSee Less
