• Pinellas has few rules for e-bikes. Could that soon change? (tampabay.com) — Pinellas County commissioners are weighing new rules for fast-moving e-bikes and e-motos on roads and trails, after a series of close calls. Clearwater residents should know that local police currently won't chase fleeing e-bikers, even as officials debate age limits, speed caps, and where these vehicles can ride across the county.
