• What California's new e-bike laws mean for you and your neighbors (calmatters.org) — New California e-bike laws could soon affect Belmont families, as San Mateo County is authorized to pilot a ban on kids under 12 riding certain lower-speed e-bikes, with $25 fines for parents. Belmont Councilmember Robin Pang-Maganaris supports tighter rules, while safety advocates argue lawmakers should prioritize protected bike infrastructure and warn the pilot could unfairly target young riders.
