Vermont electric motorcycle (e-moto) riders exceeding 30 mph or 750 watts are legally classified as motorcycles under state law, requiring registration, licensing, and a motorcycle endorsement. However, the author notes that unregistered, unlicensed, and unhelmeted riders are not being enforced on public streets and bike paths, creating safety risks for cyclists and pedestrians.
