New Electric Bike Laws in California: What You Need to Know

Electric bikes (e-bikes) are a fun and eco-friendly way to get around, but new California laws set specific guidelines to keep everyone safe.

Key Points:
1. Classifications: E-bikes are now classified into three classes:
   - Class 1: Pedal-assisted only, max speed 20 mph.
   - Class 2: Throttle-assisted, max speed 20 mph.
   - Class 3: Pedal-assisted only, max speed 28 mph, and riders must be 16+ and wear a helmet.

2. Usage Restrictions:
   - Bike Paths and Trails: Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed, but Class 3 bikes may be restricted on some bike paths.
   - Sidewalks: E-bikes are not permitted on sidewalks, especially in pedestrian-heavy areas.

3. Helmet Requirements:
   - All riders under 18 must wear a helmet regardless of the e-bike class.
   - Class 3 riders, regardless of age, are required to wear a helmet.

4. Passenger Restrictions: Class 3 e-bikes are generally limited to single riders and no passengers.

By following these guidelines, the Fontana community can enjoy safe and responsible e-bike use, making outdoor activities more accessible for all.
