"The rules adopted as amendments to the city's Traffic Rules specify that operating these 'pedal-assist commercial bicycles' within the city is 'lawful for delivery of goods and property in commerce,' and stated that they are under the same rules that apply to all bicycles.
"The definition says the e-cargo bikes can measure up to 4 feet wide and 16 feet long (which can include a trailer) and 7 feet high, and can have up to 4 wheels."
