Yep, Title of this post says 5/5/23

I think it's on May 6th...?

Love mine! Here's the NJ regs As of May 14, 2019, a brand new vehicle class was added to Title 39: “Low-speed electric bicycle.” This new vehicle is described as “a two or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by a motor, while operated by a person weighing 170 pounds, is less than 20 miles per hour.” The new law allows both “pedal-assist” and “throttle” bicycles. In order to ensure that New Jersey is in line with federal definitions, the new law states that the bicycle must “meet the requirements of one of the following classifications: “class 1 low-speed electric bicycle” which means a low-speed electric bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour; or “class 2 low-speed electric bicycle” which means a low-speed electric bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle, and that is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles.” whole article: https://njbikeped.org/new-law-legalized-e-bikes-and-e-scooters-in-new-jersey/

I've had this one for two years. It's a blast! It is my go to vehicle for getting around the barrier island year round when weather permits. I live a short distance from IBSP and use it in the park and surrounding towns. It's perfect in the summer for running out to grab something as I can park it anywhere. I don't take it on the sand, but I do use it for getting around to my fishing spots on the island.

Thanks, and yes, I agree this may be a concern. Just looking for opinions before I talk to contractors assuming there are no structural/support concerns. There are very similar houses on my street that have porch decks like this. I'm thinking it could be done for under $15K. I'm figuring $3-5,000 for the door and maybe 10k for the deck and railing. It's only about 150 square feet.

That’s the plan!

I would use it often, I've been known to climb out there with a beach chair... Its a guest room, faces north (not optimal for GH), and I would have a view of the ocean. I'm not too concerned about ROI, I hope to die here a long time from now and I would love to sip coffee up there and enjoy my life.

I asked about this a few years back, but things have def changed. I'm considering a deck over my porch and replacing the 2nd floor windows with a French door or similar. I'm looking for simple, cost effective, but decent quality materials. So not looking to cheap out, but i don't need the latest greatest hi tech materials. So before I go getting estimates, what do you think my $ range will be assuming there are no structural issues. Any input is appreciated.

The annual Southern Regional Fishing Flea Market set for this February 11, 2023.   Southern Regional Middle School 75 Cedar Bridge Rd, Manahawkin, NJ 08050 from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM.   Over 100 tables of new and used fishing gear, and tackle.         Raffles each half hour. Free seminar by Bayside Dave at 10am. Admission is $4; children under 12 are free when accompanied by an adult.  All proceeds benefit the Southern Regional High School Fishing Club.

Been at it since the late 80’s, all SW. Just never had much free time to explore outside my local area. Kids are out of the house now so I’m looking to expand my experiences.

Did not know about them. Might check them out on the backside of an urban anglers visit.

No stress…. Just looking for recommendations of shops outside of my area that I can visit and kill some time. I like to talk to the staff, handle some equipment, maybe pick up some new toys and material. Mostly to kill cabin fever. There’s nothing within 90 mins of of me so these suggestions are great.

Great! This is one I did not know about. I’ll check it out.

Good call. I was there once years ago.

On my list, thanks
