Covering everything from e-bikes to electric motorcycles, this bill updates Utah's traffic laws to create clearer rules for electric mobility devices on public roads. It bans drinking alcohol while operating any electric assisted bicycle, requires anyone under 21 to wear a helmet while riding an electric assisted bicycle, motor assisted scooter, high-power electric device, or motorcycle on a highway, and prohibits anyone under 16 from riding a high-power electric device (meaning a device that can exceed 20 mph on motor power alone) on a highway. Children ages 8 to 15 may operate an e-bike or motor assisted scooter on a highway only if supervised by a parent or responsible adult, or if they have completed a new safety course that the Department of Public Safety is required to create and make available online. The bill also allows peace officers to temporarily hold an electric device when they observe a rider under 18 committing a violation, and requires the device to be released only to a parent or guardian. Sellers of electric devices that don't qualify as true electric assisted bicycles must provide written disclosures explaining that the vehicle is subject to motor vehicle laws and that insurance may not cover it.
