Anyone 16 or older can use any e-bike.

Bill isn’t that bad. Restricts kids from using stronger e-bikes.

  It restricts them from using all e-bikes, even low speed ones which are not very dangerous.
  
  Young people deserve transportation access too.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
