A note from Town Councilmember Helen Wolter on E-bike Safety.

I just received a report from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office that five juveniles on e-bikes fled deputies near Robert's Market. Incidents like this are becoming more common across California, and e-bike safety continues to be one of the biggest issues local leaders are discussing.

As a parent, I understand why e-bikes are appealing. They offer kids independence and a convenient way to get around. But after learning more, I've become increasingly concerned about the number of illegal high-speed devices being ridden by youth.

Here are a few important facts:

⚠️ Emergency departments are seeing more serious injuries involving riders under 16.

🚴 Many devices being ridden by students don't actually meet California's legal definition of an e-bike. Some are legally considered mopeds or motorcycles, requiring registration and licensing.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents can face legal consequences if their child is riding an illegal or unsafe device or operating it recklessly.

📖 California lawmakers are working on new legislation focused on:
Stronger enforcement
Better safety education
Clearer labeling
Improved crash data
Passenger safety

E-bikes can be a great transportation option when used responsibly, but it's important that parents understand the laws and help their children ride safely.

I expect additional statewide regulations to take effect by January 1, 2027, providing clearer rules and stronger safety measures.

Please take a few minutes to learn about the different classes of e-bikes and talk with your kids about riding safely.
