For an e-bike, you need a DOT rated helmet, i.e. Motorcycle-class vs bicycle-class.

lol....I don't think I've seen an e-bike user wearing more than a cycle helmet.
Incorrect - bicycle OR motorcycle helmet is legal.

We have already had a legal problem with that, and I can tell you with these people it's not over. Sooner or later they're going to find some politician willing to give them an exemption, or an amendment to the helmet law similar to the one in Michigan.

Yep. Highest insurance rates in the country.
Milton has done well in the draft recently and is hoping to win the title within the next few years.
Not a city, but I'd wear a helmet and full body armor in the Pacific Mall parking lot as well...
our diverse population has enhanced many of the experiences living in Milton
It sure as hell ain't the driving.
FMJ's favourite place to be. He always post about this special place
