Governor, a doctor, emphasized firsthand ER tragedies, while lawmakers acted urgently to protect young riders. Key rules: no public riding under 15, adult supervision for 16-year-olds on certain e-bikes, 10 mph max on sidewalks (with business area exceptions). Sellers must label speed and use rules clearly, and buyers get safety pamphlets—all designed to let people enjoy e-bikes safely without risking lives.
