Some are already certified. It’s not THAT much of a problem.
It would impact gray-market bikes for sure, but, mostly delivery people are buying those, and maybe the city should go to the root of the problem: restaurants forcing delivery staff to buy their own ebikes but then paying low wages off the books
Don’t worry, a lot of people want your pedal-operated bike to be banned too, right after these ebikes are banned first.
(Not that I agree with such lunacy; making the point that most of the people in a rage about this are just the people who hate everything. There’s so few of them that the same 20 people keep popping up to complain in the newspapers)
