Bill > A08145

This bill enacts the "Responsible Implementation of E-Bike Regulations for Safe Cycling (RIDERS) Act". It defines "electric skateboard" and "electric personal mobility device", which includes electric bicycles, scooters, and skateboards. The bill requires the registration of all electric personal mobility devices that can reach speeds of 20 miles per hour or more when using motor power. The bill also prohibits the operation of electric personal mobility devices by those under 16 years old and requires the use of protective headgear. Additionally, the bill provides for fines and potential confiscation of unregistered devices, and allows local authorities to prohibit the use of such devices on bike or multi-use paths. The bill also requires the Commissioner to submit annual reports on the implementation of these new regulations.
