Are governments doing more to control ebikes than firearms?

    Given that New Jersey is one of if not the most restrictive state for firearms regulations in the country, I don't think this analogy is quite as sharp as you were expecting.

    When's the last time you were required to buy and maintain insurance for your gun?

    Nobody has said there are no gun laws; just that currently there seems to be more interest in restricting access to ebikes than there is in restricting access to guns, though guns cause far more societal harm.

    While I don't have a direct reference to the numbers for this; injury and death caused by firearms seems to be far more common and more severe than ebike related injuries - at least in America.
