Just addressing the bike shop comment upstream. It is not the bike shops that are selling the crappy Rad Power Bikes and worse. Those are direct to consumer bikes that, eventually, the LBS will have to help service.
Here in Wash, DC, not one bike shop carries bikes they will not be willing to service and none sell Class 3 bikes whatsoever. So if those throttled monsters annoy someone, or worse, endanger their lives, blame the unregulated nature of the industry. Also, in a big city, Ebikes that help transport kids and groceries that get people out of their cars are, even with Rad Power Bikes, far superior than a wankpanzer pickup truck on my city streets.
