New rules are coming for electric bicycle riders in Fort Lauderdale in 2027.
Commissioners are hoping to boost safety after seeing an increase in crashes involving e-bikes.
Among the possible requirements being considered:
Riders must be 16 years old
Must have government issued ID
E-bikes must be registered with city
Riding e-bikes would be prohibited inside city parks
Violations of any approved rules would result in a $250 fine, with subsequent fines of $500 each.
Once approved, the rules would apply to e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards, hoverboards and Onewheels.
The new rules are expected to be approved by the end of the year.
