The other night (Thursday) I was coming home from work and I was stopped by the Police. They said "a suspiscious bike was spotted in the area" they asked to search me and my bags, they had no right or should I say reasonable and probable grounds to search me but I had nothing to hide so I obliged. they had no idea I was on an electric bike and they held me for about 20 minutes trying to find a reason to arrest me. He searched my bags my person and asked many questions trying to find something he could pin me on. I just smiled and gave him all the doucumentation I had and after he examined my cigarette package and smelled my pepsi bottle I was told to go straight home. Just before I left he said what is that battery for? I said for my lights he nodded and I went on my way. I pedaled for the first time ever for about 20 feet before turning on the controller and rocketing home. I was going maybe 18km/h average because it was cold out but someone called the Police on me and he wanted to lock me up in the worst way. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I work the afternoon shift every second week and this was at 2:30 in the morining but I felt very harrasssed but I have had two blowouts and I changed my tire and was back on the road within 15 minutes and don't mind a setback or two but I don't like being treated like a cimminal. I was trying to be civil but they really got under my skin as they would not let me go for 20 minutes or more and I " Let them search my bags and shake me down and they acted as if this was normal practice. I could have easily said I consider this harassment and you cannot search me because I am breaking no laws but they were busy trying to find someting I had missed. I was trying to conserve power and it is a good thing I was only going 20km/h when they stopped me and because it was dark they had no idea I was not pedaling but next time I will not be so forgiving to say the least.
