When the kids decide to take their E-bikes on I-5, you know something is wrong with their decision making skills: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1sjv7ua/teens_on_e...

Yes, people freak out when they see a kid on an e-bike on a crowded freeway.

Surely this isn't as stupid as an SUV trying to take light rail though right?

Maybe Seattle is the problem ;)

Do they really need a new law to prevent bikes on freeways? I think that's already highly illegal.

Reasonable people freak out when they see that on a freeway

There are also plenty of unreasonable people who freak out when they see that on a not-freeway

Ok, but riding an ebike on the interstate is already illegal. If the problem you're trying to solve is kids taking ebikes onto the interstate, then you don't need any new laws
