California Assembly member Tasha Boerner has proposed a bill (Assembly Bill 2234) to ban e-bikes for children under the age of 12, citing continuing injuries and unsafe bike behavior.

Bill Connard, who works at OB E-bikes, questioned the state ID requirement, given the high usage of e-bikes among minors, and the impact on the DMV and bureaucracy.
