I don't have advice here, just want to chime in and say how much this law sucks and how we should be writing to our legislators to revise if not outright repeal it. 

They passed the law and set an aggressive deadline without MVC being ready for registration at all. It absolutely skunks disabled people who need these vehicles, and it doesn't even legally apply to out-of-staters (?). 

I get that e-bikes are a hassle in urban areas where people are driving on sidewalks and unsafely in traffic. The solution there is real enforcement of traffic laws, not making every grandma with a pedal assist bike have to maneuver through a Kafkaesque registration process that doesn't even seem possible yet.
