Electric Bikes and Safety Rules
from Columbus News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Summer’s here, and electric bikes and scooters are everywhere — but safety is the big concern. New Albany police are cracking down with clear rules, helmet mandates, and even ice cream coupons for riders who follow the law. Other cities like Westerville and Upper Arlington are jumping in with their own safety plans. Meanwhile, bike shop owners warn that some “e-motos” can hit 60 mph — way beyond legal limits — and are especially risky for kids. Parents need to know the rules: only class one and two e-bikes are legal for kids under 16, and wattage matters. Safety isn’t optional — it’s essential, especially when young riders are involved.
