    The problem with e-bikes is e-motos

    Vermont is experiencing safety concerns due to high-powered, unregulated e-motos, which are distinct from e-bikes. These devices, often mislabeled as e-bikes and marketed to teenagers, operate on sidewalks and paths despite existing regulations. Vermont state law classifies e-motos as motor vehicles requiring licenses and insurance, but enforcement and sales oversight are lacking.

    Is this the summer of the e-moto?

    Electric motorcycles (e-motos) are causing safety concerns in Williston and Burlington areas due to speeding incidents, regulatory confusion, and clashes with pedestrians. Local advocates and law enforcement struggle to distinguish e-motos from e-bikes, which have different legal restrictions. The Vermont Mountain Bike Association reports off-road e-moto activity encroaching on trails.
