Vehicles: electric bicycles and speed limits.

California Assembly Bill 2346 aims to regulate electric bicycles by establishing specific speed limits and safety standards for their operation on public roads. The bill introduces new sections to the Vehicle Code that will outline how electric bicycles should be used and what rules cyclists must follow. It seeks to enhance safety for both cyclists and other road users.

Supporters of AB 2346 argue that the bill will promote the safe use of electric bicycles, encouraging more people to choose eco-friendly transportation options. By setting clear speed limits and safety regulations, the legislation is seen as a step towards reducing accidents and improving overall road safety for all users.

Critics of AB 2346 may argue that the new regulations could stifle the growth of the electric bicycle market by imposing unnecessary restrictions. They might also contend that the bill could limit the freedom of cyclists, making it less appealing for individuals to use electric bicycles as a viable transportation option.
