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.
