Helmets required for operator of electric-assisted bicycles under the age of 18, and penalty provided.

HF 2811 requires all riders under 18 operating electric-assisted bicycles in Minnesota to wear a safety-approved helmet. It also prohibits children under 15 from operating these bikes. Violators face a fine, and the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.222, to include these safety rules for e-bike operators. The law directly affects minors who use electric-assisted bicycles on public roads or trails.
