Pedestrian Hit E-Bike Florida in e-bike, Florida: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have enacted new rules and regulations for e-bikes, citing concerns about enforcement and potential surveillance from local governments. The bill would have established a 10 mph speed limit for e-bikes and other micromobility devices within 50 feet of a pedestrian and required e-bike riders to yield to people on foot, with violations punishable by a $30 fine. The article references prior e-bike crashes in NE Florida, including a 12-year-old flown to the hospital after crashing an e-bike outside the Julington Creek neighborhood and another local middle school student hurt in an e-bike crash three days later.
