Bill > SB98

This bill modifies Hawaii state law by increasing the minimum age for operating a low-speed electric bicycle from fifteen to sixteen years old. Specifically, the bill amends Section 291C-143.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to change the age restriction, referencing the definition of low-speed electric bicycles found in Title 15 of the United States Code, section 2085. The change means that individuals must now be at least sixteen years old to legally operate a low-speed electric bicycle in Hawaii, which is a one-year increase from the previous age requirement. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval, and it represents a minor but specific adjustment to the state's regulations concerning electric bicycle usage by younger riders.
