MyEBikeLaw answers one question — “is my e-bike legal here, and what do I have to do?” — and backs every answer with the actual statute. It's a neutral, ad-free compliance checker for New Jersey's S4834 law, built on a typed rules engine designed to scale to every state without a rewrite.
the key decisionThe statute is data; the engine is a pure function over it — so the law can change without the code changing.
The problem
Riders get conflicting answers about what's actually legal, and most sources are affiliate-driven blog spam. MyEBikeLaw reads the real statute, classifies the bike, surfaces the gaps, and cites every claim back to the bill — no insurance referrals, no affiliate links.
Honest about ambiguity
Instead of pretending the law is settled, it flags the Class 3 e-bike statutory gap and shows both the conservative reading and the alternate. A carrier directory ranks insurers by S4834-compliance evidence, not commission — and flags one as pre-launch in NJ, because that's the truth.
Craft
Restrained editorial type and an outcome-colored verdict system, so the answer reads at a glance on a phone — where most riders check it. The full result encodes into the URL (no backend, no accounts), and one click exports a clean Save-as-PDF compliance summary.
Ask how it was built
Tap a decision and the assistant walks through it — answering only from the real build.
The result is a tool a rider can actually trust: it shows its work, links the bill on every line, and admits where the law is genuinely unsettled instead of guessing. Because the legal logic is pure and exhaustively tested, adding a new state is a data change, not an engineering project.
