Moving to Houston area and my gas powered bike will not be street legal there.
I could try to register it as a moped, but then I couldn't use the bike lane?
It looks like I may trade my gas motor for electric before moving.
I want to commute to work in downtown Houston and do not want any hassles
with the law. Any advice is appreciated.
 
George - I have not been to downtown Houston, where I will be working. Parking is expensive there, so it would be nice to avoid that cost.
When I worked in downtown Atlanta, the streets were crazy so I used public
transportation.
I would still like to have an e-bike in Texas for errands if it's not possible to commute to work.
 
I don't know how it would be in the central business district...in Dallas it would be no problem lots of lofts and the speed limit is 30mph. I am sure you could navigate to local stores ect. in your neighborhood it's the getting into the CBD I would think might be hard.
 
EBLover - Nice bikes in the link but a bit pricey. I am leaning toward something with a rear hub motor and hopefully a disk mount.
 
George, I have a cozy bike 9 which I'm pleased with. It too is pricey, but has lots of good features like turn sigs, theft alarm, regenerative braking, front and rear baskets, etc.
 
Sounds nice...Tulsa would be a nice town to commute on a bike in...I used to work out of Ochelata Wal-Mart DC. I drove for Crete delivering groceries.
