Heads up, everyone — new Utah E-bike and electric scooter laws take effect tomorrow.
Here’s what you need to know:
Anyone under the age of 21 is required to wear a helmet while riding an e-bike or electric scooter.
Law enforcement can issue a citation not only to a rider, but also to a parent or adult who allowed them to ride without a helmet.
This change is all about safety. E-bikes and electric scooters are becoming more common—and faster than many people realize—and helmets make a real difference in preventing serious injuries.
Please take a minute to talk with your kids and make sure they have — and wear — a properly fitted helmet before riding.
Let’s keep everyone safe out there.
****New Edit****
The e-bike certificate is not offered yet, and the law concerning it does not take effect until January 27
We will only be enforcing helmets at the current time.
