E-bikes don't need regulation. E-motos do. A reader explains why.

DeVon Griffin, an aerospace scientist from Medina, argues in a letter to the editor that while e-bikes don't require regulation, e-motos do. Griffin emphasizes the need for precise language, especially from influential media outlets like The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com. This distinction matters because e-motos, which are motorized two-wheelers, pose greater safety risks compared to e-bikes, necessitating stricter regulations to ensure public safety. Griffin's insight highlights the importance of clear communication in addressing transportation safety issues.
