The crazy thing to me was a parent saying that she'd have to drive her kid to school now. Why? What about a regular bike, or the bus?

I am against a stupid ban like this, but what is the logic of no ebike = have to drive?

    A lot of people can't afford multiple bikes, if they bought their kid an ebike, which was okay at the time but now they can't... It puts some people into a hard spot. Imagine if the school said 'no more vehicles with hoods taller than the students' to keep the kids safe. Would it make it safer for kids, definitely; is it going way overboard, again definitely.

    That makes a lot of sense! Especially for people saving money.

    If they did have to look for a regular bike though, you can usually buy a reconditioned used bike for less than $100 in a big city from a coop.

    I'm sure there's someone out there who stretched the budget to buy their kid an e-bike though.

    What a dumb rule. They should just make being a hooligan the thing that is against the rules, and let people park their bikes at the school.
