Ban on small engines in California

[Caper11]

Well it was only a matter of time.

California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

California took another step toward its goal of ridding the state of all gas-powered engines thanks to a new bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday.

Pretty soon no one with common sense will live in California. If there is a god then that is when the game breaker earthquake will happen and the whole state will slip into the sea.

I guess the loggers in Northern California will be driving to Oregon for a new saw when they need it. Unless California is gonna ban logging too? I highly doubt anyone is going to go back to two man cross cut saws

Do they not realize there is no such thing as zero emissions?
Are they not smart enough to know that power isn't magic and just flows from the plugs on their walls?

It's amazing how many people believe everything the nice man on TV tells them. We even have a few on this forum.

I am curious to see how these electric powered generators will work.

Taiga had some in BC to charge their sleds. I cannot recall what the name of them were.

From what I gather, common sense left California long ago.

Something like this for the smaller camping units.

Pretty sure you'll still be able to order and have delivered gas powered equipment from outside the state.

Take exhaust system deletes as diesel trucks as an example, according to the EPA they are illegal, a quick search on Google or any social media site would show it's a law that can't fully be enforced.

I didn't even know these existed until this thread.
Kinda cool

Personally I really like my Milwaukee yard maintenance tools. Already had the batteries so they were quite cheap. For blowing off a dirty combine the STIHL 2stroker is still required.

There is a ton of SXS companies in California this is going to kill most of them the economy is going to tank but the rich people that make these ridiculous rules will not be effected

It's a cool idea, but the specs on the battery that comes with show it holding 432Wh of electricity, or about what a 2000watt generator makes in 15 minutes at full load.

Bypassing an emissions system is illegal, and it can be in forced. Any state or province that does yearly inspections will also tell you this. A deleted truck or car with a non DOT approved exhaust will fail an inspection, and you cannot register that vehicle with a failed inspection.
20 years ago I seen the EPA doing emissions testing on trucks exhaust at rest areas.
On a duramax forum I’m a member of, talking about deletes are against forums rules because deleting is against the law.
