E-bike law in effect with license, registration even for slower models

New regulations for e-bikes are now in place, requiring all riders to be at least 15 years old and to wear helmets, regardless of the bike's speed. This comes after a national surge in injuries related to e-bikes, with incidents nearly tripling over the past three years. The law also mandates licenses and registration for all e-bikes, even the slower models, aiming to enhance safety and accountability. This shift underscores a broader effort to balance technological advancement with public safety, reflecting a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive oversight in the e-bike sector.
