CalBikeโ€™s 2025 Legislative Agenda - CalBike

The deadline to submit legislation in Sacramento has passed, so we have a preliminary look at CalBikeโ€™s legislative agenda. Despite new limits on the number of bills each legislator can submit, there are many bills of interest to people who care about active transportation and safer streets. Some of the bills we expect to support [โ€ฆ]

2/ Itโ€™s common for people to mistakenly assume e-bikes and e-motorcycles are much the same.

We appreciate those who recognize the important distinctions between these electric vehicles. See our post above for the Monterey Police Department press release correctly identifying the vehicle involved as an e-motorcycle. (Page 3 of that press release also includes a photo of that impounded vehicle.)

We also appreciate media professionals who are committed to accurate reportingโ€”including that when these humans do make an error (thankfully MCN/MCW isnโ€™t written by AI bots!), the best media pros promptly acknowledge and correct it. Thatโ€™s what #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz did today with his Feb 14 story originally titled "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.โ€ https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/wild-e-bike-chase-in-downtown-monterey-ends-in-major-firearms-arrest/article_491b11ce-eb1b-11ef-b4fd-cff75c185ee6.html

Weโ€™ve mentioned previously the widespread confusion about e-motorcycles, which are often inaccurately marketed as e-bikes. See https://bikemonterey.org/california-bicycle-advocates-call-on-elected-leaders-to-protect-e-bike-riders.html

Early this morning we published the latest issue of Bike Buzz, which mentions that and more about bikes at unsafe speeds. (See "On a multiuse trail, anytime weโ€™re near pedestrians and othersโ€ in red box at https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025.html.)

Coincidentally, a Feb 14 afternoon story from #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz includes a speeding e-motorcycle rider: "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.โ€https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/wild-e-bike-chase-in-downtown-monterey-ends-in-major-firearms-arrest/article_491b11ce-eb1b-11ef-b4fd-cff75c185ee6.html

Although Davidโ€™s story refers to that vehicle as an โ€œe-bike,โ€ the Monterey Police Dept press release identified it as an e-motorcycle. https://files.monterey.gov/News-Releases/2025/25_0214-MPD-Media-Release-Firearms-Arrest.pdf

This is another example of why we and many other #CalBike partners issued this stmt: https://bikemonterey.org/california-bicycle-advocates-call-on-elected-leaders-to-protect-e-bike-riders.html

#Cleveland's Land Energy is working with CPD to bring their switchable #ebike #emoped #emotorcycle to the patrol fleet.

"While the investment will lead to significant savings in gas and maintenance costs, the department is also attracted to the advantages of covering more ground at large concerts, parades and sporting events, and breaking down physical barriers between the public and officers."
