I see that my pedal assist
ONLY ebike with 28 mph max speed is classified as a "Motorized Bicycle" by the state of NJ, in the same class as mopeds, etc. Stoopid. It does not matter to them that it is pedal assist only.
Clearly, the 28 mph pedal assist only bikes should not be grouped in with the electric and gas powered throttle bikes that are true motorized bicycles (pedals or not), but that's what they did. They only looked at speed.
Even old people like me can get any bike up to 30 mph or more on the road and approach that speed on some downhill trails. Doesn't have to have a motor. They are all low speed ebikes. Classifying by speed within the category makes no sense, but it's the government, so, yeah. I see from the chart that I can't park my Class 3 ebike on a sidewalk. lol, should I use a parking space on the street? I'm glad the label fell off. Most won't even know it's an ebike.

A Surron doesn't even fit into the Type 1, 2, 3 classification scheme, so no label required. Not allowed on SP trails but if the rangers are just looking for labels maybe they just let that one go? Just exaggerating, Surron
should be obvious.
If I get stopped, I guess they'll give me a citation for not having a sticker with max speed and watts on the ebike? lol, this set of laws are an unenforceable rabbit hole.
