A new law in **San Diego County, California** , known as AB 2234, has been signed into effect by Governor Gavin Newsom, which will prohibit children under the age of 12 from riding e-bikes.

### Key Points :

- **Age Restriction** : The law specifically bans children under 12 from operating Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes.

- **Safety Requirements for Older Riders** : For riders aged over 12 who do not possess a valid driver’s license, the law mandates completion of an online safety course and possession of a state-issued photo ID when riding an e-bike.

- **Implementation Timeline** : The law will come into effect on January 1, 2025, allowing time for local jurisdictions to prepare for its enforcement.
