DeSantis for signature"},"content":{"rendered":"

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2013 A new bill has received final approval from the Florida Legislature, paving the way for potential E-Bike speed limits.<\/p>\n

That bill \u2014 SB 382<\/a> \u2014 was originally filed all the way back in November by state Sen. Keith Truenow (R-Tavares), and it aims to bring forth new E-Bike safety rules.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Florida House unanimously approved the bill, sending it to Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign it into law.<\/p>\n

For starters, the bill would limit people on electric bicycles to 10 mph on sidewalks and other paths if there are any pedestrians within 50 feet.<\/p>\n

Anyone who breaks this rule could face a fine of $30.<\/p>\n

The bill also creates the Micromobility Device Safety Task Force to recommend improvements to state law when it comes to public safety for devices like e-bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, SB 382 requires law enforcement to start tracking crashes that involve E-Bikes and other micromobility devices.<\/p>\n

SB 382 also originally had a provision that would have required a driver\u2019s license for Class 3 E-Bikes<\/a>. That rule was ultimately cropped from the bill, though.<\/p>\n

If signed by the governor, SB 382 is set to take effect on July 1.<\/p>\n
