Yet another "tax" and "think of the children". However, you should have to pedal your ass when you are a kid. Its good for you. Not just drive a e-scooter that looks sort of like a bike.

From the post:

>If state lawmakers have their way, you’ll have to get a license plate for your e-bike, and if you’re planning to buy one next year, it’ll be slower. Amid growing concerns about e-bike safety, particularly among children in Bay Area suburbs, two bills introduced this year aim to make it easier to ticket riders and reduce the top speed of some models. AB 1942 would require certain e-bikes to be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles and display license plates, and AB 1557 would slow e-bikes that children are allowed to operate.

Think of this as creating more scarcity. The government is in the scarcity business: it creates scarcity. It can tax it and monetize it. Yes, it's that simple.
