Mackinac Island Impounded More Than 50 Illegal E-Bikes In Just Three Weeks

Michigan's Mackinac Island...rules are pretty straightforward...you have a mobility disability that 'substantially limits the ability of the individual to pedal a bicycle"...you're allowed to have a Class 1 e-bike that only provides assistance while you're pedaling, and you have to get it licensed...With cars banned on the island, people tend to walk or ride traditional bikes...with everyone else moving relatively slowly, they don't want a few people zipping by going twice as fast as everyone else."
