At some point the line between electric car and bike gets very blurry.

The pre-order price of the e-bike is $2,500. Which electric car makes that line blurry?

Depends on the state and municipality. Check your local laws regarding golf carts.
Definitely not. Electrek bought a LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) truck like this and it wasn’t. They’re unsafe for roads due to lack of many safety features
It doesn't surprise me that they are not street legal...but it's interesting to me that in all practicality, they are probably safer than riding a bike; and yet bikes are legal.
We need AgingWheels to buy one of these

Basically a fully enclosed golf cart, lead acid batteries and all. Was $1,200 a year ago.
Can it go on the highway? No. Is it crashworthy? No. But neither is an ebike, and this at least keeps the rain off you.
