Hasn't this all been debated before on another site Safe?
Ideally I want to sell the bike "commercially"... so I need to obey.
For homebuilt rides you can modify and probably even sell them if you can claim to not be "in business" doing it. The line of when you cross from being a "private citizen" to a "businessman" is probably fuzzy, but at some point it's going to happen. Even for the homebuilt rides you still need to pass your local laws, so you still are going to get busted eventually unless you are very careful.
All my efforts have this background of "potential product" to them.
Why?
I don't know... it's just nice to think that there might be some larger purpose than just fiddling around with ebikes on my own. (though in the end if nothing ever comes from it that's all that really happened)
Person-to-person sale is the underground "black market".
The Federal Law only applies to anyone who builds and sells ebikes as a business. I would want to be professional if I did this and so that means obeying the laws.
For me it's "pro" or "no".
