    In my state bicycles have to ride in the street, and are held to the same rules as motor vehicles.

      Same here but e bikes aren’t allowed in the road lane, and almost nowhere has a bike lane or wide shoulder or sidewalk. They’ve essentially outlawed them.

        Ah, mine does allow e bikes on both roads and bike lanes, although there are restrictions based on the top speed and how that speed is generated (pedal assist vs throttle assist).

        But the restriction is basically just when you need a license, registration, and insurance to operate. Basically anything that’s under 20mph is a bicycle.
