   @jef when you think about it it’s pretty wild that we have strict limits on the max speed of an e-bike but literally anyone can get a license and buy a car that can do a buck fifty.

     California: We're going to require all new vehicles to prevent you from going faster than the speed limit. And by "prevent" we mean if you're going 10 MPH over the limit, the car will beep at you. Once.

     Drivers: BUT WHAT IF I HAVE TO SPEED TO GET OUT OF A BAD SITUATION? A BEEP MIGHT DISTRACT ME!
