Electric Bike Law in California?




anthonyshi


Is there a law that applies to the electric bike to California? I know you have to where a helmet but can someone like a kid ride it?


Answer
Electric bikes have to follow the same laws as regular bikes.

Kids can ride it as long as they are physically large enough to handle it. Letting a smaller kid (that couldn't control it) ride it wouldn't be against the law, it would just be stupid (since you'd know they'd probably get hurt).

Does anyone else think bike helmets are stupid?

When I was growing up we didn't have "bike helmets," and we didn't need them. Doesn't it seem like if a kid is riding in such a way as to genuinely risk head injury, that the thing to do is change his riding habits? Kids wearing bike helmets just depresses me. What do you think?
I didn't mean to suggest that I have anything against people who wear them, or that I would belittle anyone..never! I just think the need for these helmets reflects the fact that we're moving so fast, and taking so many risks now, that we can barely remember a time when being a kid was actually kind of a slow and easy thing, and kids were mostly safe and carefree.

I think I know what you mean. when i was a kid i rode all over town.( med sized town) When i was 8 yrs old i rode to the store alone and wherever i wanted really . ( and my parents were very protective) It was the 60's, there was less traffic. less mischief and well, less bad stuff in the world. At that time no one had even heard of a bike helmet. but needless to say if i had had a wreck or collided with a car It probably would have killed me, Now if a kid falls over or gets bumped by a car the helmet will probably save the kid's life
So yeah, it depresses me too but then, it's not the bike helmets...... it's the scary place the world has become... not like when i was a kid and a kid could be a kid.
