KNOW YOUR E-BIKE LAWS
Local law enforcement has reported an increase in e‑bike-related accidents in our community. As summer approaches and more students are riding, we encourage families to take time to review safe riding practices.

Did you know there are different classes of e-bikes, with varying rules, speeds and age requirements? For example, one class requires riders to be at least 16 years old and hold a license. Do you know which class of bike your child rides and its related laws?

Parents, make sure your children know the rules of riding an electric vehicle to help keep them safe on the road.

Under California Vehicle Code §21200, those riding bicycles or e‑bikes on public roads have the same responsibilities as drivers of cars. If used incorrectly, e-vehicles can be impounded and will require expensive fines to be returned.

SAFE E-BIKE RIDING TIPS
Local law enforcement has reported an increase in e‑bike-related accidents in our community. As summer approaches and more students are riding, we encourage families to take time to review safe riding practices.

Did you know that under California Vehicle Code §21200, those riding bicycles or e‑bikes on public roads have the same responsibilities as drivers of cars? This includes children. If your family rides e-bikes or e-scooters, follow these important safety tips:

Make sure you know the operation and licensing requirements for the type of e-bike/scooter you own.
Always wear a properly fitting, approved helmet.
Do not ride recklessly (VC §23103) or at an unsafe speed (VC §23109). Always have both wheels on the ground, hands on the handlebars, and your body on the seat.

Be aware that if used incorrectly, e-vehicles can be impounded and will require expensive fines to be returned.

PREVENT E-BIKE ACCIDENTS
The increased convenience and speed offered by e-bikes and scooters brings the possibility of serious or life-threatening injuries. Local law enforcement has reported an increase in e-bike-related accidents in our community.

Parents, make sure your children know the rules of riding an electric vehicle to help keep them safe on the road.

Under California law, anyone riding a motorized vehicle should not ride recklessly (VC §23103) or at an unsafe speed (VC §23109). E-bike riders should always have both wheels on the ground, hands on the handlebars, and your body on the seat as they travel at a safe speed. If used incorrectly, e-vehicles can be impounded and will require expensive fines to be returned.
