Legislators in Massachusetts are considering a new framework to organise electric mobility comprehensively. Its distinguishing feature is classifying vehicles by top speed rather than by name or appearance, covering electric bikes capable of 30 to 40 mph and above. Where each vehicle may ride would be divided by speed band, aiming at a system that can handle an ever-growing number of electric vehicles into the future.

Technically, this can be called a rational framework. Drawing the line by top speed rather than by name or appearance, dividing into 21 to 30 mph, up to 40 mph and above that, and keeping the fast ones out of bike lanes. Designing regulation around the number that is speed rather than around feeling is coherent as a way of handling an ever-growing number of electric vehicles into the future.
