Was this ever in question? Both the USFS and BLM have had that stance for a few years now.

Thankfully we still have these places.
Pedal-assist bikes such as the Levo, Haibike and others are not "self-propelled" and are outside of the definition of "motor vehicle" as set forth in the letter. Under the letter, e-bikes that are throttle operated or can otherwise be operated without pedal assist, fall within the definition. Pedal-assist bikes, which are not self-propelled, are not "ebikes" under the definition set forth in the statute.
Good luck with that in Federal Court, I'm sure the Judge will be thoroughly impressed with your knowledge of federal law.Pedal-assist bikes such as the Levo, Haibike and others are not "self-propelled" and are outside of the definition of "motor vehicle" as set forth in the letter.

Read it again. Actually, I don't think you've read it yet.Pedal-assist bikes such as the Levo, Haibike and others are not "self-propelled" and are outside of the definition of "motor vehicle" as set forth in the letter.

That's not how the statement reads. According to the USFS, if it has a battery, it's motorized (assuming the document is authentic).Pedal-assist bikes such as the Levo, Haibike and others are not "self-propelled" and are outside of the definition of "motor vehicle" as set forth in the letter.

I'm sure a judge would, given that I am a lawyer...Good luck with that in Federal Court, I'm sure the Judge will be thoroughly impressed with your knowledge of federal law.

Read the definition...no mention of battery in the definition of "motorized vehicle."That's not how the statement reads. According to the USFS, if it has a battery, it's motorized (assuming the document is authentic).
Well, you can be the test monkey then since you're so sure.Read the definition...no mention of battery in the definition of "motorized vehicle."
Well, you are certainly acting like one. There is a reason lawyers are some of the most disliked people, I believe even more than used car salesmen from what I've read. Don't you have an ambulance to chase?I'm sure a judge would, given that I am a lawyer...
I'd have no problem with that....Well, you can be the test monkey then since you're so sure.
When can we expect to see you in the news?I'd have no problem with that.... I am that sure.
You mean "acting like one" because of my reading comprehension? Or by understanding what laws and regulations actually say? If that's what you mean by "acting like one", I'll take it.Well, you are certainly acting like one.

Well, heck... I was gonna take out my standard mtb for tonight's ride...But all this talk is making me want to take out the Levo instead! I'll think of ya'll while I'm riding!When can we expect to see you in the news?
And by the way.... to anyone reading this string... I'm not YOUR lawyer, and the aforementioned statements are not meant as legal advice. 
Wouldn't want to strain yourself. When are you going to be in the news in your civil disobedience experiment?Well, heck... I was gonna take out my standard mtb for tonight's ride...But all this talk is making me want to take out the Levo instead! I'll think of ya'll while I'm riding!
Fixing to set back emotorbikes 20 years.
