Hi, my name is ________ and I live in _________. I’m calling to register my opposition to (IF ASSEMBLY) Bill A6235 (IF SENATE) Bill S4834, which would require licenses and registration to operate low-speed e-bikes. License and registration laws for e-bikes will not address roadway fatalities, but it will create barriers to bike use, leading to more car traffic, more pollution, and more dangerous roads in New Jersey. The number-one source of over 500 fatalities and 3,000 serious injuries on New Jersey's roadways in 2025 were cars. Please vote no and ask your colleagues to do the same. (if leaving a message): If you have any questions, I’d be happy to talk and can be reached at ______.
