This is not the right approach... I own two legal E-bikes that are capable of Class 3 speeds (28 mph while pedaling) but never really go that fast. Yes E-bike safety should be addressed for younger riders but don't punish the slower class 1 and 2 E-bike owners.

@govmurphy.bsky.social's press release, attempting to justify NJ's "E-bike Bill", further demonstrates that the sponsors
have poor understanding of existing law and are largely uninformed about the bill they just passed.
Kudos to Sen Mukherji for trying to stop it.

Fun fact: every outdoor dining space in #hoboken combined only occupies 58 parking spaces.
These 58 spots generate about $24k per month in revenue to fund city services.
Outdoor dining is also our highest performing curb use, with ~30 people interacting with each space equivalent per day.

To complicate matters even more for our UES neighbor, #Hoboken already has city-wide free buses.
She will likely reconsider the second she finds out Hoboken also has a large issue with unhoused folks and not enough shelter or resources for them and all the friction that causes there, because those are the people she is afraid of (instead of supporting things to help them...like free buses).
Robin Reiter runs a PT office on East 65th Street. Do you think she knows Hoboken has a Sikh mayor?

“We – dealers, manufacturers, auto lenders – don’t learn our lessons from the past,” Schwartz said. “I’m sure bank presidents back then said, ‘We’re never doing 96-month loans again.’ And here we are, 15 years later, and we’re getting right back into it. It’s crazy.”
“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.”
Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest.
