AN ACT CONCERNING THE DISPLAY OF LIGHTED LAMPS ON BICYCLES, ELECTRIC BICYCLES AND ELECTRIC SCOOTERS.

This bill requires bicycles, electric bicycles, and electric scooters to display a front light from half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise, expanding the current requirement which only applies after sunset. The law also mandates that these vehicles carry a rear reflector or tail light visible from 600 feet, reflective material on both sides, a braking device capable of stopping within 25 feet at 10 mph, and prohibits the use of sirens or whistles while riding. These safety equipment requirements apply to all such vehicles operated on public highways and are effective October 1, 2026. Violations of these provisions are classified as infractions that may result in fines.
