Might work but the cat is likely out of the bag already. What about post-purchase upgrade that transforms a class I to II (or III)?
E-bikes are a thing

I don't see the point of ever riding a bike in that hell hole, or any other big city for that matter. Death wish!
The best thing that could ever happen for bike commuting in morris county (and the rest of NJ eventually) is they make so much luxury apartments that the whole place is gridlocked so you can just ride past traffic instead of getting passed and passed on rt 46's and rt10's etc...
Special mention to my town hopatcong where the only way out of town for some reason is a 1/2 mile long 50mph 4 lane mega highway with zero shoulder.

We used to park in Fort Lee and ride across the GWB, down the greenway to Battery Park and back. It was actually a nice ride, but we haven't done it since the start of the pandemic. Sharing the greenway with ebikes wasn't a big deal back then, but I read that article a few weeks back and honestly now I'm rethinking adding that ride back into the rotation of drop-bar bike rides.

Well... he did say "on the road" which would generally imply "regularly driven". It's been years since I saw a Metro convertible on the road. They are now relegated to "occasionally driven classic car" status. Similar to my Triumph Spitfire and GT6, neither of which are comfortable at 80 MPH - they'll do it, but that speed is definitely close to their max. Conversely, my recently acquired Triumph TR8 will easily do 80 and be happy with it. Regardless, none of my Triumphs are regularly driven cars.

Some of the bike lanes in these shore towns have become almost unridable without ebikes being in the mix.
Between avid cyclists going 20mph and a family with a kid on training wheels doing 5mph, pedestrians and the occasional moron going the wrong direction, I feel safer on the road.

I've been using it for a few months but not since the update a couple days ago. Anything new?

There's an update? I'll have to check mine. Is it on all Edge models?

I have an 830. Go to Add Sensor and pick eBike, it automatically makes a Profile for it.

It did do a software update a couple of minutes after I turned it on.

If you are a peasant like me... you do what you have to do to save that $127 per month.
It started out for me because of n+1 lol

With the exception of a few stravaholes, a ride down and up the Greenway is rather nice on a weekend.

The city in and of itself is a hell hole death wish, so whatever transportation you take makes no difference. Someone is going to kill you at some point.
