“I will no longer wait for another tragedy to strike before we do everything we can under state law to protect our children,” said Campillo.

San Diego would become the sixth city in the county to join a state pilot program that makes it illegal for users under age 12 to ride Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes.

Sounds like a long wait to me. As usual, the technology will vastly outpace the law, doubly so when such pilot programs are being trailed over several year. The time for that was a decade ago.

This slow march to regulate e-bikes is almost as annoying as New Jersey's overzealous whack-a-mole style of law making.
