California Wants to Create a Driver’s License for Electric Bikes
California Wants to Create a Driver’s License for Electric Bikes
A driver's license for electric bikes? It could soon be a reality in California if a new bill passes the state assembly.
The move is in response to many young electric bike riders who often take to the streets without having tested for or received a typical driver’s license for a standard car. That means they are often ignorant of many traffic laws and safety information.
Assembly Bill 530, which will soon enter committee, would require both an online written test and a state-issued identification for riders who do not have a driver’s license. The bill would also ban riders under 12 years old from riding e-bikes.

What’s next?!?! A license for my toaster?
Can your toaster do 40mph and kill you if you hit a pothole?
I'd almost bet that there are more toaster related death each year the ebike ones...
Amazing! I knew someone with better googlefu would come through with the goods, thanks friend.
Flawless victory.
Best we can do is an ebike license with an optional toaster endorsement. Separate license class for anything over 1500w or more than two slots.
