Parents: E-bikes, & Kids
E-bikes are popular among school-aged kids, but not all are legal or safe. Consider the following factors before sending your child onto a pathway or trail:
- Check age restrictions. In Utah, children 14 years and younger may only ride an E-bike under direct supervision of a parent or guardian.
- Talk with your child about speed limits, yielding, safe passing, and other standard bike etiquette and safety protocols.
- Plan your routes to school. Not all trails and pathways allow E-bike usage.

- Ask about the difference between class 1, 2, and 3 E-bikes.
- Educate yourself on what's legal before you buy.
