Micromobility Devices

The bill title and subject matter changed from 'Electric Bicycles' to 'Micromobility Devices' to include scooters and other similar devices.

The safety task force's composition was updated to include representatives from the micromobility device industry and organizations focused on preventing injuries from all micromobility devices.

Law enforcement reporting requirements were expanded to track crashes involving all micromobility devices, with specific data fields for electric bicycle operators within that list.

References to 'electric bicycles' were replaced with 'micromobility devices' throughout the text, and the regulatory framework now explicitly includes devices defined in s. 316.003.

The definition of 'electric motorcycle' and references to motorized scooters in crash reporting requirements were removed.

The requirement for a person to possess a valid driver's license to operate a Class 3 electric bicycle was removed.

New speed restrictions were added, prohibiting e-bike operation above 10 mph on sidewalks when a pedestrian is within 50 feet.

Law enforcement agencies are now required to maintain and submit lists of all electric bicycle crashes, regardless of crash severity.

A new Electric Bicycle Safety Task Force was created to study e-bike safety and provide legislative recommendations.

The effective date for the act was changed from July 1, 2027, to the date the bill becomes law.
