In 49 states motorcycles are required to sit in traffic, not go around it. In all 50 states motorcycles are required to consume the same parking footprint as SUVs. I think ebike adoption depends on the ability to use bike lanes and bike racks, both of which would go away under a motorcycle designation, so I can't agree. Same goal though.
In my state motorcycles can share parking spaces. That’s covered in the class. Education is critical to responsibly operate a motor vehicle.
Lane filtering laws need to change, that’s my point. I say we can get there with more people on electric motorcycles.
There’s obvious demand, the problem is people who ride electric motorcycles on bike paths. They’re giving ebikes a bad name.
This could be our generation’s “You meet the nicest people on a Honda.”
I have zero confidence in anything changing though. The only people more insufferable than car drivers are cyclists. Trying to have a conversation with anyone about this is like debating politics at thanksgiving.
