NYC's e-bike classification rules can be confusing — especially when online retailers (and the media 👀) describe anything with two wheels and a motor as an e-bike Sophia Lebowitz explains why it's so easy to think you're buying an e-bike when you've really been sold an illegal e-moto

Think your e-bike is actually an e-bike? 🚲⚡ Officer Donaldson recently stopped a rider after observing what appeared to be an electric-assisted bicycle traveling more than 30 mph in the bike lane without the rider pedaling. During the stop, the rider explained the bike could be adjusted to different power settings, including one that allowed it to operate without pedaling. Under Washington law, those features can change how the vehicle is classified and what rules apply. As more high-powered e-bikes hit the road, it’s important to know the difference. Not every bike marketed as an e-bike meets Washington’s legal definition of one, and some may actually be classified as electric motorcycles with different licensing, registration and equipment requirements. If you own an e-bike, take a few minutes to make sure you know the rules before you ride. To view an accessible, audio described version of this video, visit: #vanpoliceusa #bodycams

We've been cracking down on Surrons and e-bikes modified to exceed the 15.5mph speed limit for e-bikes. If you own an electric bike, know the law - if you're caught with a de-restricted bike, you could face fines, points on your licence, and even seizure of your bike.

Parents, electric dirt bikes are NOT e-bikes. Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida is seeing an increase in electric dirt bikes, also called “e-motos”, being ridden in neighborhoods and on public roads. Monday, six of these electric dirt bikes were impounded and citations were issued to juveniles 11-14 years old. Many Do NOT have pedals, have high-powered motors, and are designed only for off-road use. Under Florida law, these vehicles are NOT street legal. It’s illegal to ride electric dirt bikes or "e-motos" on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Walton County. Driving an unregistered, electric dirt bike on a public road can lead to citations, fines, impoundment, and a mandatory court date. Parents are responsible for making sure e-motos are used legally and safely. Even if it was a gift for Christmas and thought to be an e-bike, many of these are electric dirt bikes and the rules of the road are different. Allowing a child to ride an e-moto on streets or sidewalks puts them and everyone around them at serious risk. E-Bike vs. Electric Dirt Bike or E-Moto ✅ E-Bike: • Has pedals with electric assist • Designed for roads, bike paths, and shared spaces • Typically, lower speeds and requires less protective gear • Less than 750 watts • Can travel 28 mph or less depending on class of bike • Classified as a bicycle 🚫 Electric Dirt Bike / E-Moto: • All throttle • Higher power and higher speeds • Built for off-road terrain only • Requires full protective gear • 750 watts or more • Can travel up to 70 mph • Classified as a motor vehicle ➡️ NOT legal on streets or sidewalks Our goal is education and safety. Not enforcement after something goes horribly wrong and ends in a tragedy. When these e-motos are operated illegally on public roads and sidewalks, enforcement action will be taken. We're here if you need us.

American healthcare worker has a very serious warning for parents “Don't buy your kid an e-bike. If I could give parents any piece of advice right now, it would be don't get an e-bike for your child. The consequences to e-bike accidents are life-changing and deadly, and honestly, kids should not be riding them — So please just don't buy them” She’s right they are very dangerous here’s some data: E-bikes can reach 20 mph, and Class 3 e-bikes can reach 28 mph. Same models can go even faster An estimated 45,000–60,000 e-bike injuries occur annually in the US across all ages Roughly 8,000–12,000 children and teens have to visit the ER every year from them Children involved in e-bike crashes are more likely to suffer traumatic brain injuries, fractures and internal injuries than those injured on traditional bicycles because of the higher speeds Pediatric trauma experts report dozens of children and teens have died in e-bike crashes in recent years

E-bikes offer an easy, sustainable way to get around London. But with Black Friday and Cyber Monday fast approaching, London Fire Brigade is urging Londoners to be mindful when purchasing these vehicles. E-bike battery charging is one of the fastest growing causes of fires in London.

Parents will be fined at least $500, if their underage child is caught riding an e-bike or e-scooter. There'll be new speed limits on roads and footpaths, and police will have the power to crush illegal devices. Marlina Whop

This is footage of an e-bike exploding at a home in Catford. It's just one of 556 e-bike fires in the last three years in London. The infernos are toxic, spread within seconds and are almost impossible to put out. And they've killed half a dozen Londoners since 2023.

Well done to Greater Manchester Police for using tactical vehicle contact to stop an electric bike carrying two 17‑year‑old youths who thought it wise to ride an e‑bike down tram tracks - and who were found with two machetes. One question: did they let him ring his mummy? The wuss. 😂

CCTV has captured the moment a police officer leapt through the air to tackle an e-bike rider who was travelling at speed. Police in Peterborough had failed to stop the e-bike rider who had been travelling at speed through the city. Little did he know, however, that the two officers were waiting for him ⤵️

🚨 MERCEDES BUILT AN E-BIKE AND GAVE IT A HELMET THAT THINKS This is the Mercedes AMG F1 E-bike It's fast, sharp, and built like it’s late for pole position. The helmet? It lights up when you turn, flashes red when you brake, and auto-calls for help if you crash. All of it connects by Bluetooth: no apps, no setup, just the future of cycling.

🚨 ER NURSE BEGS PARENTS: DON'T BUY YOUR KID AN E-BIKE An ER nurse just dropped a serious warning: "Don't buy your kid an e-bike." She says the injuries she's seeing are devastating. Broken bones. Traumatic brain injuries. Life-changing crashes. According to her, these cases are becoming alarmingly common in the ER. Research has found that e-bike injuries have risen sharply in recent years, with teens accounting for a large share of emergency department visits. Should kids still be allowed to ride these?
