Ebikes are "becoming one of the biggest public safety challenges facing our community. Not because e-bikes are inherently dangerous. It’s because too many riders are treating them like toys instead of vehicles. Public safety officials are advising juvenile riders and their parents to get caught up on the rules of the road, and to follow them whether on two wheels or four…. We don’t need to become known as the community that wrote the toughest ordinances. We should become known as the communities that created the safest riders.” https://sanbenito.com/editorial-creating-a-culture-of-e-bike-safety/

From @bikemonterey

Consumer Advisory: Is it an e-bike—or something else?

Heads-up to Californians who are shopping for a legitimate e-bike. Be careful not to be misled by a seller who may be falsely advertising or promoting other products, e.g., electric motorcycles, as e-bikes.

"There's no four-way stop. We're on the corner of the district office, and there's not a school #crosswalk here. There's three hills where people #speed down. We don't have #SpeedBumps. It's just, it's a dangerous intersection.” https://www.ksbw.com/article/pacific-grove-student-injured-scooter-crash/65608797

Note the #KION headline mistakenly refers to the device as an “ebike" ("Police seize juvenile’s Talaria electric bike after brief chase”), reinforcing mistaken perceptions about ebikes. If people read past the headline, they’ll see in the short story itself a reference to "illegal electric motorcycles.”

"According to police, electric motorcycles like Sur Ron's and Talaria's are not street legal or safe and can have motors that exceed 6,000 watts, which is more than the legal 750 watts.

"'This Talaria was modified to reach speeds more double the stock limit,' said police.” https://kion546.com/news/santa-cruz-county/capitola/2025/01/06/police-seize-juveniles-talaria-electric-bike-after-brief-chase/

ICYMI, see related stmt from #California #Bicycle Coalition and other #ActiveTransport advocates, "California Bicycle Advocates Call on Elected Leaders to Protect E-Bike Riders by Curbing Illegal Electric Motorcycles": https://bikemonterey.org/california-bicycle-advocates-call-on-elected-leaders-to-protect-e-bike-riders.html.

"... The Department of Energy plans to roll out 2,454,200 EVs... cars, tricycles, motorcycles and buses... install 65,000 charging stations nationwide by 2028 to speed up the shift to #ElectricVehicles... #Malacañang issued Executive Order No. 12 series of 2023 granting tax incentives to #EVs but excluding #eMotorcycles. Various groups have urged the government to amend the order and make it more inclusive to cover e-motorcycles." 🤔
