Redwood City, CA — The San Mateo County Office of Education has announced a new e-bike toolkit for schools. The County Office will also host an e-bike safety webinar on Wednesday, September 3, at 5:30 p.m.

With e-bikes growing in popularity among students, schools need clear strategies to promote safe, responsible riding. The new Online E-Bike Toolkit includes guidance on laws, educational materials for families, and safety tips for students. It also features materials that schools can share directly with parents and students. These include a slide deck for presentations and information on California e-bike laws and the three e-bike classifications. Resources are available in both English and Spanish. 

The webinar will be hosted in partnership with The Parent Venture and E-Bike Sense. Sponsored by the California Office of Traffic Safety, this event is designed for both parents and students to learn about e-bike laws, safety tips, and responsible riding. In this interactive workshop, Megan Lamb, founder, and Stephen McCall from E-Bike Sense will help parents, caregivers, and educators "make sense" of e-bikes to ensure the safety of youth in our communities. This is a free event, open to all parents/caregivers, students, educators, and community members are welcome. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Anyone who is interested may register here.
