Deltona Ditches E-Bike Age Ban | Orlando News

Deltona just dropped its e-bike age ban for minors after fierce pushback — yes, kids under 18 can now ride solo without cops hassling them. Mayor Santiago Avila Junior admitted the rule was too extreme, and even the Volusia County Sheriff backed off enforcement, citing state law. While the age limit’s gone, safety rules stay: 15 mph max on sidewalks, yield to pedestrians, and helmets are still required. The city’s rolling out a public workshop to teach safe riding — proving that when communities speak up, policies shift fast — all while keeping safety front and center.
