I heard he made and narrated a documentary that premiered at Sundance Film Festival February 2012. I would like to see it.

It's not a dumb idea at all. Though it's not likely to produce any results. My guess is that he actually will read it, at least if it's on paper. Old-fashioned mail. He might well agree with you. But that won't be enough.

Work on your local legislators. Maybe even your EU PMs in Brussels (?) Maybe a Europe wide standard could be in the cards.

Unless, of course,...you are trying to sell E-bikes to geezers? I'm sure the Princes William and Harry can get a new generation interested in E-bikes, but there are plenty of older folk (I'm 53) who could use an E-bike to help get them past the hills, so we can continue to get some exercise and fresh air once in a while?...

That particular bike hasn't been photoshopped, it has the LFP modded motor and controller.
