Once the lawyers bankrupt you the old axiom "You can't squeeze blood out of a rock." comes to mind...lol

What does this have to do with power-assisted bicycles? Or may be I'm missing something.
In fact, the story remains the same if Frank were driving his fully insured car. The insurance company will only pay up to his policy limit. He's on his own for anything above and beyond that limit.

Any good truck driver knows to plow down the errant road user instead of risking losing control anywhere near a bus full of children. Out of control swerving is what SUV drivers do and is a good argument against using them where a sedan is more appropriate.

RoadWrinkle said:If you want to "register" your ebike as a moped (the only way to do it) then you have to comply with the various requirements: head light, tail light, brake light, blinkers, HP and MPH limitations, etc. I know Progressive insurance is big with motorcyclists, not sure any company would insure a bicycle, but a moped for sure.
