The ban will affect riders 12 and under who ride a class 1 or class 2 e-bike, which provides assistance up to 20mph. Many class 1 and 2 e-bikes designed for kids top out at lower speeds for safety. These aren’t the much more powerful e-motos.

Email or call and let them know that this bill will not solve the problem of kids riding emotos too fast. It is not addressing the problem and is inherently unfair to riders who need more than 250w to propel them down the road (anybody who can't afford a mid-drive and weighs more than 90lbs).

“More San Diegans die from fatal crashes every year than non-traffic related violent crimes. According to the Mayor, public safety is his Administration’s top priority. However, this budget cuts the entire team of engineers dedicated to making streets safer. Ultimately, San Diegans will suffer with their lives.”
Good point about public safety priorities, especially considering imbalance between law enforcement and safer streets budgets.
