Kudos to John Ramos, whose report for #KION, "Some Bay Area cities aim to set rules on e-bike use,” is—overall—one of best such media reports on these issues. https://kioncentralcoast.com/news/2026/02/14/some-bay-area-cities-aim-to-set-rules-on-e-bike-use/
“Every ‘ebike’ sold in California would be unlawful for sale as an ebike in Europe. Our motors are allowed 750 watts, but in Europe, only 250.” —John Maa, MD, emergency trauma surgeon & ebike safety advocate
On Feb 13 “local officials gathered in Walnut Creek to support legislation that would require registration of Class 2 & 3 e-bikes.”
Re: e-motorcycle ridden by 16-yr-old Cash Krawetz, who died after his e-moto crashed in Half Moon Bay on Feb 9: "That’s what parents are buying 11-14-yr-olds."—Alan Kalin, #SFBA bike safety advocate. Al found 70 e-motos & only 12 regular bicycles at Stone Valley Middle School.
“Many of today’s ‘e-bikes’ aren’t really bicycles at all."
