A tug of war continues over the need to curb dockless bikes following a recent 6-3 City Council vote scuttling an emergency ordinance prohibiting motorized scooters on boardwalks. On the one hand, a City subcommittee chaired by District 1 Councilmember Barbara Bry is
considering toughening dockless bike rules, including instituting fees for enforcement. Conversely, heavily amended legislation, AB 2989, is ongoing at the state level to loosen some restrictions on motorized scooters. The state bill would allow motorized scooters on highways with speed limits up to 35 mph (rather than the current 25 mph), as well as on
highways with higher speed limits if the scooter is operated within a class II or class IV bikeway. It also removes the helmet requirement for riders 18 years old or older. Meanwhile, a San Diego Police Department crackdown enforcing motorized scooter safety, especially in Pacific Beach and Mission beaches, will continue this summer targeting violators.
