Thank you, once again, for getting the word out about e-bikes — the joys and the dangers.

Thanks for you letter, Ms. Ragsdale, but how can law enforcement or the average person looking to report an e-bike rider tell if a rider is at least 12 years old? Will these youngsters need to carry “papers”? Will their parents be fined as well as their e-bikes impounded should they fail to meet the age minimum? Should all e-bike riders need to pay registration fees as well as fees to obtain e-bike licenses, to pay for the licensing program as well as the cycling infrastructure they currently enjoy at no expense?
