    Should E-Bike Riders Be Required to Have a License?

    Exactly! Faster e-bikes especially Class 3 or anything that goes above 28 mph must have the cyclist own a full driver’s license. If it's possible to undergo a mandatory training, I'm in support of it.

Part of government funds and arms them...

    Riding across your state?

    Unfortunately I've not been able to do this and it's not because I don't want to but because of security reasons. We are currently battling with Fulani herdsmen killing people randomly.
