> So I would like to see better e-bike laws that make it illegal to have a machine that's too heavy and/or fast

Fwiw, shouldn’t we consider the weight of the bike (e-bike or not e-bike) + the weight of the rider?

On my 75lb e-bike and weighing 160lb, am I more dangerous than a 220lb dude on a 15lb Schwinn?

Speed’s an issue also, but I’ve had my road bike up to 55 mph (downhill) and never exceed 24 mph on my e-bike.

So, I guess I’m saying to be equitable, set speed and combined weight limits on all things with 2 wheels.

Unless your company pays your commuter costs and provides lunch, like mine.

A year ago there seemed to be a lot HN commenters saying they would never RTO and if their companies implement RTO they will just jump ship. Is that still possible in this environment?
