California just approved a new pilot program letting San Mateo County ban kids under 12 from riding Class 1 and 2 e-bikes—those pedal-assist bikes that hit 20 mph. First violation? $25 fine with a 60-day grace period, but if the kid completes a safety course within 120 days, they dodge the penalty entirely. It’s part of a statewide trend: similar programs already running in San Diego and Marin, responding to a surge in injuries among young riders since 2020. The governor’s signature is next—and this test runs until 2031.
