Kansas City E-Bike Crackdown Coming Soon?!?

Suburban busybodies are mostly worried about traffic . . .

Here in Kansas City the struggle is different . . . 

People are using e-bikes to get around car or motorcycle ownership and KCMO wants their cut.

"A proposal is expected to be discussed during a city council committee meeting on July 14.

"If the plan is eventually approved it would clarify what qualifies as an e-bike, the different types that can legally operate in the city, and other safety standards. It would also address where people would be allowed to legally ride e-bikes."
