BIKE HERO AWARD 2026 –
taking nominations until May 24th!

Bike Heroes are great “roll” models: They are students who get up early to ride regularly, inspire others to bike, obey all rules of the road, and have FUN biking. If you know a student who fits this description, we invite you to nominate them for this county-wide award. Safe Routes will be awarding $50 gift cards to two elementary students and two middle school students.

IMPORTANT E-BIKE LAWS VETTED BY INDUSTRY LAWYERS

Any throttle motor that can be switched to go speeds beyond 20 mph on motor power alone, is considered “out of class” – it is not an e-bike, it is a motor vehicle and requires a student to be at least 16 years old with a driver’s license and registration.  (Same as e-scooters)
Under the guidance of our insurers and legal counsel, there are many brands (e.g. Super73, Surron) that fall into the “out-of-class” category that can no longer be accepted in classes.

A bill pending in CA legislature would address “multiple mode” products, not leaving it up to the consumers to interpret. Other bills are pending to address a minimum age requirement of 16 for Class 2.
