Oof, once again, I'm glad I don't live in NJ!
I guess excessive bureaucracy is in style now.
I'm curious how this would work with visitors. I road trip every now and then. I like to ride bikes in when I visit places and if I brought my class III could I even ride it in the state? I likely couldn't register it as a non NJ resident and if I could, it would be for a year when my trip might be only 3 days.
My bike is insured. Do I have to carry my insurance card just to zip down the block to the corner store?
It just reeks of putting up barriers to discourage and eventually kill a positive movement towards PEVs as a gift to the auto, oil, and civil construction industries.
