I am the ebike classes hater. I am very glad my electric unicycle, and electric unicycles in general, are made by Chinese scofflaws and have no artificial limits. Mine tops out at 55kph/34mph which is just about enough to reasonably exist on the suburban streets I am forced to use for lack of bike lanes and paths.
(I am also an ATGATT type and always ride with full on motocross gear.)
IMO there should definitely be a class in between “license plate required” and “allowed to use bike paths” though, the problem with ebike regs as they exist is just that they suck. Pedals shouldn’t matter, form factor shouldn’t matter, the only things that should matter are weight and speed.
Once I get out of the suburban hellscape to the city, bike paths are the perfect place for this very same contraption, but to even get to the bike paths I need to deal with about six miles of suburb.
