California’s Newport-Mesa Unified School District just rolled out a bold new policy: no e-bikes or e-motorcycles for students K-8 on campus, and even high schoolers (9-12) must complete safety training before being allowed to ride them — and still can’t ride them on school grounds. Helmets are mandatory, and unapproved bikes get held until parents claim them. This is the first school district in California to take this step, fueled by rising e-bike accident rates — Orange County saw a 430% spike in injuries over four years, prompting DA action. Meanwhile, a state bill (AB 1569) is pending, aiming to require statewide safety training for teens on e-bikes and e-motos.
