E-bike speed limits are an ‘overreach,’ DeSantis says with veto

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has rejected a bill that would have imposed speed limits on electric bicycles, describing it as an "overreach." The measure, which passed both the House and Senate unanimously, aimed to restrict e-bike speeds to 10 mph within 50 feet of pedestrians. DeSantis argued that policing such regulations isn't necessary. This veto highlights a broader debate about balancing safety measures with individual freedom and the potential overregulation of emerging technologies like e-bikes.
