I understand that the “pedal assist” is required by law, otherwise they would have to be registered as motor vehicles. If you don’t pedal, you don’t go.

Yeah, I have heard they are enforcing that on the CDA bike trails. Not around here.

Doesn't that depend on which state of the country you're operating it in? There are several classes of e-bikes. If button operated, they are limited by law to a low speed or denied use on public streets, depending on state laws. If pedal assisted, they are allowed a higher speed on public streets but still limited to a certain speed, depending on state laws.
