E-bikes aren't the problem Motorized mayhem on the PInellas Trail | Letter, Dec. 31 E-bikes are considered bicycles under Florida law (so long as they are capable of being pedaled and limited to a maximum speed of 20 mph) and are permitted wherever conventional bikes are allowed. The Pinellas Trail signage does indeed prohibit 'motors.' Realize that those signs were posted before e-bikes were well known. The intent was to restrict usage by gas-powered vehicles. We have owned e-bikes for 4 years now, before 'e-bike' was a household word.
