It's not dumb if you've ever experienced them weaving in and out of busy traffic.

Every illegal alien who doesn’t have a car is using one of these. They ignore lights and stop signs. They ignore traffic and ride down the middle of the street.

I'm all against government overreach BS, especially from the Dem left. BUUUT, I'm 1000% for this new law. If there was ever an issue that needed addressed, this is it. Next on my list is outlawing those ultra bright blazing white headlights on cars.

This is gonna save lives. Nevermind the $ NJ will make from registering these motorized bikes, but lives will be saved. Kids will make it to college

Obviously another money grab by our democratic friends. But honestly, New Jersey has too many fat, lazy kids anyway, let them go out for a walk or run. Or shockingly ride a bike without it requiring a plug.

Personally I'm sick of dodging these f'n people in Trenton while coming to or leaving work! 99% of them are people that cannot get a driver's license. Cut you off, blow through stop signs. SICK OF IT!

If you ever saw the way ebikes are driven in cities like Paterson and Newark I think your take may change. Ebike are far more powerful than regular bikes and many are driven recklessly. The amount of pedestrian accidents from ebike riders driving reckless is staggering.

Not dumb. People who rides these things in the street don’t obey traffic laws, cause accidents and should be licensed and insured.

As a conservative in NJ reading this, don’t forget that a lot of kids have died on E bikes in NJ. This is an unfair targeted headline

Not dumb. Some of these kids are fucking insane riding them.

Why is this stupid? I’ve seen kids under 15 go on highway and dangerous backroads. Most of the time no helmets and headphones on

Obviously you haven't seen out of control kids, without helmets, doing wheelies, in traffic. I detest all things coming out of Trenton, but these things should be illegal for minors!

Why, aren't e-bikes really mopeds or light motorcycles? Should we eliminate license, registration and insurance for cars and trucks?

Come hang out for a weekend in Hudson or Essex County, in a few different, heavily congested, urban areas & you'll be singing a different tune. Then go across the GWB, up to the Bronx & see the Turd World up close & personal on these scooters - which will migrate to NJ.

I don’t think you see how these kids, illegals etc are using abusing this privilege. Reckless driving, speeding getting in the way of motorists. Do we have to wait until people die to do something. I think your viewpoint on this is the dumbest part of your post.

Every time I leave the house I have a problem with these idiots on electric bikes. Just yesterday some moron on an electric bike was doing 20MPH in a 40 zone right down the middle of the lane so nobody can pass him. The day before 2 kids on one blew from a side street into the main road without stopping and looking right in front of me at full throttle, lucky he's not dead. Reminds me when Jet Skis were new and big and as a boater they were a menace. Same thing, different conveyance.

Stupid? Please elaborate as to why you think this is not smart/appropriate.

Dumb? Until it is your kid.

My wife and I are retirees who have E bikes we use them maybe 10 times a year leisurely around where we live. We don’t ride them in the summer because of the amount of traffic. I am not going to register my E bike nor get insurance for it. This is ridiculous.

Should have just banned them for minors.

The hospitals are saying do not buy your kids one. ER nurse said this and I believe her.

My daughter is angry that a birthday present last year now she can’t legally use now because of her age. I think the law is gone to far. There is no reason why a child can’t ride a bike if accompanied by an adult. There is no reason if an illegal immigrant that can’t read English and drive a a truck but a teenager who understands the road laws can’t ride an e-bike. Don’t punish good teenagers. I ride with my children. I put rules on where they can ride. They are responsible.

None of it is stupid. I see too many on these things blowing through stop signs and red lights.

Another scam to fleece the citizens. They found a way to make money from us. Well I am not registering amd insuring a bicycle with mild pedal assist. What is it gonna do maybe put a bruise on your toe?

Yea worst take ever. These things suck for kids!

Dumb? You’ve never experienced the hordes of kids blowing past you riding illegally throw Theon, blowing red lights, driving wrong direction or the modified ones doing 40mph+? This can’t take effect alone enough

They just gave ebikes a place on the roads. They are now rated as motorcycles. They will become motorcycles.

How can you even think of forcing IDs and proof docs on people??? That's racist

Another way to make money for free sh*t for illegals.

Walk around Hoboken. Too many delivery drivers on e-bikes breaking the law and there’s no way to identify them. Need to license and plate the bikes for reporting bad drivers.

You forgot the part about native Spanish speakers and all illegals commuting to and from construction and landscaping jobs are 100% exempt.

As usual NJ goes way too far. How about we just arrest all the illegals riding the e bikes and let the kids have fun while they are children…

Laws are already there. This is government over reach and a new tax

This is actually a great law that was passed. E bikes are out of control in my area.

How is this stupid? Multiple people in NYC have been killed by these motorcycles on bike lanes
