Irvine is slated to join a growing list of Orange County cities cracking down on reckless e-bike riding.

 

City officials are considering tightening ordinances for e-bikes and scooters to prevent collisions — including more responsibility for parents through citations and fines and updated speed limits on sidewalks and trails.

 

Violations could soon be classified as misdemeanors and reckless riders could face $500 fines after multiple violations.
