Jacksonville Eyes E-Bike Safety Rules | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville’s city council is pushing forward with new e-bike rules as injuries spike—especially with school back in session. With nearly 100 kids treated for e-bike and e-scooter injuries in just six months (on pace to double by year’s end), officials are acting fast. The proposed ordinance caps sidewalk speeds at 10 mph, mandates helmet use for riders under 16, sets a minimum age of 11, requires lights at night, and bans speed mods. While enforcement may be tough, lawmakers say these steps are essential to keep kids and pedestrians safe amid rising risks.
