Susanville Police Department wants you to know the difference between an E motorcycle and an E-bike.
An E motorcycle requires more than just pedaling. To ride one on public roads, you must have a valid driver’s license with a Class M1 endorsement.
You have to wear a DOT-approved helmet for your safety.
You need to register your E motorcycle with the DMV and display a license plate properly.
Safety equipment like brake lights, headlights, and turn signals must be on the vehicle.
Liability insurance is also mandatory.
If you are a parent or guardian, remember that if your child is under 18 and rides an E motorcycle without a license, you could be held responsible under CVC 14607. This can lead to misdemeanor charges.
Make sure your child’s vehicle meets these requirements Ensuring compliance protects everyone on the road.
