TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Two bills aimed at enhancing e-bike and e-scooter safety have been filed in Tallahassee, focusing on modifications and crash reporting.
The proposed legislation seeks to ban any modifications to e-bikes that would allow them to exceed set speed limits.
Additionally, law enforcement would be required to specify if an e-bike was involved in a crash, enhancing data collection and safety analysis.
Safety content related to e-bikes and e-scooters would be added to learner’s permit and driver’s license courses, ensuring new drivers are educated on the rules and risks associated with e-mobility.
More bills related to e-mobility are expected to be filed as the 2026 legislative session begins in January, indicating a growing focus on transportation safety and regulation.
