E-bike legislation
San Diego City District 7 Councilmember Raul Campillo’s e-bike regulations aimed at improving public safety for children and families across the City of San Diego were approved by the City Council. The e-bike regulations will go into effect 30 days after the second reading of the ordinance on June 30.
The e-bike regulations will increase safety for children and reduce reckless riding by: • Imposing an age limit of 12 years for class 1 and 2 e-bikes • Reinforcing helmet requirements and passenger restrictions (passengers are only allowed if the e-bike is specifically designed to accommodate multiple riders with a permanent second seat) • Providing option for cited individuals to complete an e-bike safety course in lieu of a $25 fine. • Requiring 30-day public outreach before enforcement. • Establish a 60-day warning period before citations are issued.
Once approved, a comprehensive public outreach campaign will be launched to promote an education-
first enforcement while strengthening parent and youth training and accountability.
