Requires use of helmets when operating or riding upon electric bicycle or electric scooter.

This bill requires all riders and operators of electric bicycles and scooters in New Jersey to wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet meeting state safety standards. It directly affects anyone using these vehicles as transportation, including both riders and operators. The law mandates helmet use to reduce head injury risks identified in crash data, with fines of up to $25 for a first violation and $100 for repeat offenses. The bill does not apply to traditional bicycles or vehicles exceeding defined low-speed limits. It is currently pending in the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
