新泽西州立法者正在推行一项法案,将几乎所有电动自行车都重新分类为机动车,要求许可证、登记和保险,而不论速度或电力如何,理由是电子自行车撞车(包括涉及儿童的机车)上升带来的安全问题。 New Jersey lawmakers are pushing a bill to reclassify nearly all electric bikes as motorized vehicles, requiring licenses, registration, and insurance regardless of speed or power, citing safety concerns from rising e-bike crashes, including those involving children. 该提案将取消目前的三级制度,将低速电子自行车与已经被当作脚踏车处理的高速模式合并在一起,听取骑自行车者和倡导者的批评,他们警告说费用高昂,对小踏板辅助自行车进行惩罚,并可能破坏现行安全法。 The proposal would eliminate the current three-class system, merging low-speed e-bikes with higher-speed models already treated like mopeds, drawing criticism from cyclists and advocates who warn of high costs, penalties for modest pedal-assist bikes, and the potential to undermine existing safety laws. 反对者敦促更好地执行现有规则,改善教育。 Opponents urge better enforcement of current rules and improved education instead. 该法案提交给参议院预算委员会。 The bill advances to the Senate Budget Committee.
