    I’m not buying your interpretation of achievable speeds. The clause is meant to exclude golf carts, which also can be dropped from heights.

    And Power Wheels.

    Seems very exclusionary towards the very old and the very young….

    Yeah, transport is transport — the way old people drive in my neighborhood, I wish way more of them were piloting golf carts. (Or Power Wheels for that matter.)

    I plug in my light to recharge it. Does my bike qualify as an electric vehicle? It does 45… just check out my Strava log files.

    According to Strava I did 10 laps of Hains Point yesterday at 118 MPH, so my bike can qualify too!

    45mph top speed and 2.5kw battery is not an e-bike, it’s a motorcycle. I do wish, though that the tax benefit would include actual e-bikes (20mph top speed and weigh no more than 100lbs etc) because they are way more energy efficient than any plug in car or motorcycle.
