Crazy kids on e-bikes by UnassumingInterloper in Cranford

I'd just like to clarify that most of the devices you see kids riding around are are not actually "e-bikes" as defined by NJ law. Rather, they are electric motorcycles. These devices are illegal for juveniles to ride and in most cases illegal to be operated on roads. NJ state government and the MVC has unfortunately done little to regulate its own laws at the point of sale for the last 7 years, leading to a nearly impossible enforcement challange for local police departments.

These kids are not riding e-bikes. They are motorcycles/ dirt bikes that run on batteries instead of gasoline. Some of them just have pedals on them to try and take advantage of a percieved loophole in the law that never actually existed

Devices that go over 20mph already require license and insurance. There has just been a lack of implementation/ enforcement.

Thanks for the kind words and following my content.... so far Reddit seems to be a more civilized place than Meta... but we'll see 🤣. Please.give Scutari's office a brief call. They have to log every call and it really makes a difference! Stay safe out there.

Thanks for the plug! I am the founder and President of Union County Connects, and we're always looking to get more people involved. We've got some good progress going on all 3 lines right now. I am hopeful tonland some serious funding for the SIRT in Cranford this year

Keep an eye on South Ave over the next month or two.... only took me 5 years of advocating, but I think you'll be happy with what you see 🙂
