CALIFORNIA E-BIKE LAWS

Is your child's e-bike legal?

Overview
California e-bike flow chart

Buying your child an e-bike is exciting, but it’s important to know the rules that keep them safe and legal on the road. California law (CVC §21212) requires anyone under 18 to wear a helmet, and some e-bike classes have age limits and speed restrictions. These laws aren’t about limiting fun—they’re designed to give kids the freedom of riding while protecting them from serious risks.

By choosing the right e-bike and teaching your child the rules of the road, you’re giving them independence, confidence, and a safe way to ride. When parents know the laws, kids get to enjoy the thrill of e-biking the right way!

Use the flow chart below to determine if your child’s e-bike is California legal.

Cannabis & Long-term Cognitive Implications

Heavy cannabis use linked to lasting effects on memory

A new study looked at over 1,000 young adults, ages 22 to 36, to see how heavy cannabis (marijuana) use affects the brain. Using brain scans, researchers found that people who used a lot of cannabis had less brain activity when trying to remember and use information—something called “working memory.” Working memory helps you with everyday things like driving or having a conversation. The study showed that even people who had stopped using cannabis still had weaker brain activity in these areas.
