Bummer about Pennsylvania. In Colorado and most other states if the power assist is less than 20mph and 750Watts, the rules are the same as riding a bicycle -- no license or insurance required.
We do need to be aware of municipal rules for further restrictions. In Fort Collins we can use power on streets and bike lanes, but we need to pedal without power assist on trails (there are signs to let visitors know the rules).
I hope the few states that have laws built around mopeds adopt electric allowances. Riders are enjoying more commutes to work and errands to the store by bicycle/Ridekick-trailer, and the car stays in the garage 
Ride On...
