"they're typically also allowed to skirt slow-moving motorized traffic by traveling in less-crowded bike lanes. " [...] "The rider's pedaling power is augmented by two 250-watt motors in the rear wheels of the main unit, taking the ePack up to a top speed of 25 km/h (16 mph)."

Something for the EPAC regulations experts on here to get their teeth into

EAPC, not EPAC :smile:

Reading them, I'm not 100% sure whether this complies or not. The regs say that the motor must not have a continuous rated power output of more than 250W, but they don't seem to actually say there must only be one such motor.

The combined continuous power output is what matters.
You could have one on each wheel and take it into MSVA territory.
