Good news: Governor Newsom signed SB 1167! Authored by Senator Catherine Blakespear and co-sponsored by CalBike, the new law draws a clear line between legal e-bikes and high-powered electric devices too often marketed as e-bikes.

Driver speeding 58mph on Reseda Blvd / Strathern This is why we have so many crashes. It shouldnt even be possible for this driver to go that fast but this street is so wide it basically welcomes it I’m biking at around 15/16mph and even I felt it as they sped by.

Excellent news! Give the governor a call and urge him to sign this. We need to clearly separate legitimate e-bikes, which are crucial to building a better future, and illegal e-motorcycles that generate the vast majority of the complaints of too fast riding. This is the sole e-bike bill to support.

It’s not noted in the article but unlike EVs our extensive e-bike charging infrastructure also already exists, via any wall outlet. No further municipal investment required. It’s been mentioned before, but e-bikes might be dismissed for government support *because* they’re so cost efficient.

In California’s e-bike debate we’re spending a lot of time arguing about the wrong machines. Sarah Iannarone of MOVE Santa Barbara County gets at that in a sharp piece for the Santa Barbara Independent. Legal e-bikes are already clearly defined in California law.

Public transit has a speed problem, and a simple bicycle can solve a surprising amount of it. In a sample of 10,000 Bay Area trips, biking to transit cut the average journey from 116 minutes to 76 minutes. That is 40 minutes saved, or a 52% faster trip. modemix.io/blog/1
