Marin police to cite minors under 16 riding class 2 e-bikes after grace period ends

The Central Marin Police Authority advised residents in the jurisdictions it serves that minors under the age of 16 will be ticketed for riding e-bikes operated by a throttle starting next week. 

The restriction, which was authorized under the state’s Assembly Bill 1778 in 2024, applies to class 2 e-bikes, which are those that have both pedal assist and a throttle and can go up to 20 mph, the Police Authority said.
