⚓️ 🚲 Bremerton riders and parents, listen up!
Big changes to electric motorized transportation devices that take effect across Washington on June 11, 2026. We recently provided some information about e-bikes and other riding machines, and here is the update for changes taking place, next week, across the state.
Under ESSB 6110, high-powered electric dirt bikes and "e-motos" (anything over 750W, over 20mph on throttle alone, or easily modified via an app) are officially classified as MOTORCYCLES. 🏍️ That means they require a driver's license, plates, insurance, and motorcycle endorsements!
🛑 REMEMBER BREMERTON'S LOCAL RULES (BMC 10.13): https://ecode360.com/47229755
1️⃣ You CANNOT use motor power on Bremerton sidewalks—manual pedaling only!
2️⃣ E-motos & E-scooters under motor power are BANNED from city parks and multipurpose trails.
3️⃣ No street riding between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
4️⃣ Riders on streets must be at least 14 years old, and helmets are mandatory!
Parents, protect your kids, check your vehicle labels, and keep it legal!
