California Wants to Create a Driver’s License for Electric Bikes (electrek.co)

The move is in response to many young electric bike riders who often take to the streets without having tested for or received a typical driver’s license for a standard car. That means they are often ignorant of many traffic laws and safety information.

Assembly Bill 530, which will soon enter committee, would require both an online written test and a state-issued identification for riders who do not have a driver’s license. The bill would also ban riders under 12 years old from riding e-bikes.

Pedestrians also take to the streets without having been tested or licensed for traveling on them. Should we license pedestrians too?
