I am 58 and have severe osteoarthritis in both knees. Even with surgery (haven’t had it yet), I would still be disabled. Enough, so as to prohibit me from peddling a conventional bicycle. I think that given a reasonable speed limit, e-bikes should be allowed on any and all paths/trails. There is no reasonable excuse to disallow me from enjoying the same trails that I used to enjoy when I was able to walk and/or ride a conventional bike in the past.

My wife has had a knee replacement and cannot pedal a bike. A class 2 e-bike allows her to bike with me and her grandchildren. We are both over 70. My endurance is limited to 3 or 4 miles on a regular bike. I can go much farther using the pedal assist on my class 2 E-bike. We would love to take advantage of the wonderful bike trails in Michigan.

I'm 48 far form a senior and I ride a One wheel same motor as a e bike but in a form of a skate board
I love riding on my local trail along side Joggers, Bike riders and E Bikers, with times changing and new technology coming out every day we as people have to adapt to the changing trends.
I feel as long as people are respecting the path and not being reckless everyone can co-ride together.
Without the availability of throttle-assist, eBikes are not a viable option for many people who could otherwise use them as an alternative to automobiles for transportation.

After buying 2 Pedegos last year, we have gone over 1500 miles on bicycle paths all over Michigan. We stopped riding bikes years ago as age related issues slowed us down but these 2 Bikes changed our lives in so many ways. Our Pedegos are both Class 1 and Class 2 as they have both pedal assist features and a twist throttle. We use both features and recommend getting ebikes that have both. 20 mph is plenty fast enough and we rarely even go that fast.
