Parents: that βe-bikeβ could land your child in criminal court.
βBut itβs electric!β doesnβt automatically make it a legal electric bicycle under Florida law.
No pedals? High-powered motor? That electric dirt bike may fall into a completely different legal category, with licensing, registration and street-use requirements.
Riding around the neighborhood can lead to more than a warning. Depending on the vehicle and circumstances, riders can face criminal traffic charges.
Before buying one for your child, check what it actually is, where it can legally be ridden and what the rider needs to operate it.
