On 26 January 2011 The Hon Representative Norman Ramirez Rivera submitted a bill to regulate motorized bike. The bill includes a penalty of up to three years in prison (see measured at the end of this article). What are powered bikes? Do we need this measure?
powered bikes are nothing new. The first motorized bike was invented in France in 1868. The bike engine that ran on steam. The first kit from internal combustion engine (ie gas powered) for bike appeared New York, in 1896. Initially, the other attended to the rider pedals which used most of the time. Later, the other gained sufficient strength to the rider pedals will use only when they wanted to use engine. Eventually these evolved into motorized bikes motorcycles (motor) is now commonly seen on our roads.
motorized bikes and motor kits to put a bike, they continue to produce until today. These bikes come and go in fashion. They tend to become more popular when difficult economic conditions, or if the price of gasoline rises to high levels. The most advanced bike engines do not use gasoline now available. They are electric motors. But the electric motors for bicycles, for now are more expensive than gasoline engines for bicycles, which the gasoline engine is much more common.
in the U.S.. UU., Several states allow motorized bikes with internal combustion engine used on the road without registration or license. Other states limit the maximum engine speed (beyond that speed must register as Moopet, or motor). Each state has its own laws regarding these motorized bikes. The Federal government does not take the bike motorized vehicles and requires that they undergo the same safety regulations that no motor bikes.
The PRBC not in favor of motorized bikes. These bikes cause environmental pollution, and unnecessary noise pollution. The PRBC think the best engine in a bike are the legs rider. While we recognize that there are some cyclists who may benefit from some type of motor in bike, as some very old bicycle, or some riders who have chronic health problems.
However, PRBC considers that the measure presented by the Hon Representative Ramírez Rivera not necessary. The long history of motorized bike, and his historical acceptance in many countries, including the U.S.. UU., Demonstrates that these bikes are reasonably safe (there is no completely safe method of transportation). Moreover, difficult economic times through our island at this time, it is necessary that citizens have more affordable transportation alternatives to the car, or even the motor. The 3143 measure may be well intentioned. But the PRBC maintains that the measure must provide specific and detailed evidence in its explanatory memorandum on the alleged danger that the claims as presented motorized bikes to the public. Otherwise, the 3143 measure could cause impression of being written only to protect, not the rider, but the economic interests of motor vehicle dealers.
