Michigan Weighs E-Bike Rules | Grand Rapids News

E-bikes are exploding in popularity—and Michigan is racing to catch up with rules.

State lawmakers are proposing that kids under 14 stay off public paths, teens 14–17 need parental permission and helmets. While some worry new rules could hurt sales, bike shop owners say it’s easy: just tweak the speed. They’re confident their bikes can adapt to whatever laws come down the pike. The debate is heating up locally and at the statehouse as officials scramble to keep pace with this fast-moving trend.
