Good news and bad on CA ebike bills, and OC mom charged after son on illegal e-moto injured 81-year old Vietnam vet

April 23, 2026 / / One comment

I hope you had a good, environmentally conscious Earth Day yesterday.

I celebrated by spending most of the day on it.

Meanwhile, today’s image is Metro’s new limited-edition Earth Day TAP card; the fully functional bamboo TAP cards are available at any Metro Customer Center until they run out. 

………

Good news and bad from the state legislature with regard to ebikes.

Let’s start with the good news.

AB 1557, which redefines an ebike as having a motor limited to maximum of 750 watts, and lowers the maximum assisted speed for Class 1 and Class 2 ebikes to 16 mph, passed out of the Assembly Transportation Committee 12-0; the purpose is to clearly distinguish ebikes from e-motos of questionable legality.

AB 2284 passed the committee with 15 votes in favor; it would require the state Attorney General to maintain a public list of electric two-wheeled devices that don’t meet the state’s legal definition of an ebike.

Now for the bad news.

AB 1942 also passed the committee, and would mandate that all Class 2 and Class 3 ebikes have to be registered with the DMV and display license plates, just like cars, trucks and SUVs. It would be one of the most effective ways to put the brakes on ebikes, limit the growth of an otherwise legal alternative to driving, and start us down the slippery slope that could lead to licensing regular bikes and their riders.

Somewhere in between good and bad, and also moving forward, are AB 1569, which requires students from kindergarten up to complete an approved electric bicycle safety training course before they could park an ebike on school grounds, and AB 2595, which creates a pilot program allowing cities in San Mateo County to ban kids under 12 from riding any form of ebike.

An Orange County mom faces charges after her 14-year old son critically injured an 81-year old Vietnam vet while doing wheelies on his high-powered e-motorcycle.

Fifty-year-old Aliso Viejo resident Tommi Jo Mejer faces six years and eight months behind bars after she was charged with felony child endangerment and felony accessory after the fact, along with several misdemeanor counts.

Mejer had been warned by deputies last year that the Surron Ultra Bee she purchased for her son was an illegal electric motorcycle capable of speeds up to 58 mph, and that her son had been riding it recklessly.

She is accused of lying to investigators about after the crash, claiming neither she nor her son owned a similar e-moto.

Meanwhile, former Marine pilot and substitute teacher Ed Ashman remains hospitalized, facing a long and costly recovery; a crowdfunding page to help pay his medical expenses has raised over $87,000 of the $90,000 goal.

The Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council is hosting a CD13 City Council candidate forum next Thursday.

My finely honed political instincts tell me incumbent Hugo Soto-Martinez will probably cruise to re-election in the June primary. But I’m often, if not usually, wrong about such things, so take that with a bag of salt.

The war on cars may be a myth, but the war on bikes — and pedestrians — just keeps on going.

County officials in Ireland are urging the country’s government to reconsider a plan for mandatory hi-visibility clothing at night for bicyclists and e-scooter users, even though the initial plan to require hi-viz collapsed within a day from a withering backlash; then again, they’re also calling for pedestrians to wear hi-viz when walking 24/7. Which is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

But sometimes, it’s the people on two wheels behaving badly.

Um, okay. A person was hit on the head with a bicycle on Venice’s Ocean Front Walk yesterday morning, although it’s not clear what sparked the altercation, or if the assailant was actually riding the bicycle or just happened to grab one.

Santa Monica police announced they’re conducting another bicycle and pedestrian safety operation — yesterday. Maybe they could try letting us know with a tad more than seven-and-a-half hours notice. Just saying.

The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department airlifted an injured mountain biker from a remote Carmel Valley trail yesterday morning.

The Victor Valley News reports an ebike rider was hospitalized after being struck by a driver Wednesday evening — although photos of the bike make it look at lot more like a dirt bike or e-moto than anything that could be classified as an electric bicycle under current California law.

An op-ed from a Santa Barbara writer says a “compromise” to bring cars back to State Street is literally a life-or-death decision, because taking cars off the city’s busiest street for bicyclists and pedestrians resulted in an increase in safety.

The San Luis Obispo bikeshare system is kicking off Bike Month a week from Friday, previewing events throughout the month. Meanwhile, LA Metro hasn’t even bothered to update last year’s webpage. 

Ars Technica says the best part of Monterey’s recent Sea Otter Classic was the accessories, including a Bluetooth-enabled suction cup roof rack. At least that way you know if your bike falls off.

Even bike riders say $4 million is a lot of money to fix a flooding problem on a Carmel bike path.

Great idea. Volunteers with Bellevue, Washington’s Cascade Bicycle Club rode to an Amazon distribution center to collect perishable food for a local food bank, returning with a whopping 372 pounds of food, including a boatload of bananas.

I want to be like him when I grow up. An 80-year old Maine man is planning to bike across the country, because “Why not?”

A Washington website says Trump’s war with DC’s bicyclists is just the first shot in a nationwide car-centric battle against bike infrastructure, while a legal writer says “Apparently, bike lanes and pedestrian trails are woke.”

Bicycling deaths now account for ten percent of all traffic deaths in the European Union, after dropping only eight percent over the last decade, just a quarter of the decline for motor vehicle deaths.

Facebook group kvetches over Better Overland Project, WeHo approves ebike incentives, and KTLA insists Pomona boy was on an ebike

April 22, 2026 / / 2 comments

I lost my internet connection just as I was getting ready to post this. So I’m going to try to post it using my phone.

Hopefully you’ll get this, but I can’t promise everything will post correctly or no errors will get through.

……….

Evidently, not everyone is in favor of the Better Overland Project.

The plan to build a Complete Street and protected bike lanes on the lower section of Overland Avenue has drawn its share of detractors to a Facebook group calling to “SAVE Overland Ave in Culver CIty.”

Even though that’s exactly what proponents are trying to do. Apparently, they don’t grasp the concept that drivers and local residents, including older people, benefit from safer streets, too.

Then again, the group only has a measly 215 members right now. So maybe instead of torches and pitchforks, it’s just matches and spades this time.

Thanks to Adrian for the heads-up.

………

Thanks to Andrew for forwarding news on Bluesky that West Hollywood will become the latest Southern California city to offer its own ebike incentive program, with eligible residents able to claim up to $2,000 towards one.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles joins California in continuing to offer eligible residents absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, Bluesky seems to be having yet another of their recent service outages, so you may have to just take my word for it, unless the post below miraculously shows up, or the above link actually works. Otherwise, I’ll try again tomorrow.

KTLA-5 continues to insist that Angel Roman Mendoza Lopez, the 13-year old boy killed by a driver in Pomona last week, was riding an ebike, even though other sources say he was riding an e-scooter.

Although it’s possible he was on a sit-down scooter, which would make both kinda right.

Meanwhile, the crowdfunding campaign to benefit his family has now raised over $16,000, while the goal has been increase to $25,000.

Thanks, Donald. German ebike and cargo bikemaker Riese & Müller announced it’s pulling out of the US due to market volatility caused by the constantly changing tariffs, including a 50% tariff on steel.

Honolulu bicyclists complain that it’s taking too long to replace curbing, bike lane delineators and green paint marking a two-way separated bike lane after the street was repaved.

A review of Seattle’s Vision Zero plan shows the city still isn’t making enough safety improvements, and hasn’t done enough to improve safety on the the streets with the highest rates of serious injuries and deaths for pedestrians and bike riders.

That’s more like it. Sheriff’s deputies made an arrest four-and-a-half years after a 29-year old man riding a bicycle was killed by a hit-and-run driver in my bike-friendly Colorado hometown, continuing to investigate until they had enough evidence to get an arrest warrant; the suspect was booked on charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving death and insurance fraud. Seriously, when was the last time you heard of LA cops or sheriff’s deputies arresting a hit-and-run suspect after four-and-a-half months, let alone four-and-a-half years?

An op-ed from a Louisville KY bicyclist and triathlete says that bike riders in the city don’t want “more ill-conceived bike lanes,” insisting that what they really want is for drivers to share the road and pass safely, while bike riders need to obey the law and pull over to let long lines of cars pass them. Except there’s a 100-year plus track record showing too many drivers are incapable of sharing the road safely, which is exactly why we need bike lanes. 

A Pittsburgh bike group tells locals and out-of-towners to forget the car, and ride a bike to this week’s NFL Draft.

DC bike riders will still have a safe route connecting downtown Washington to the Tidal Basin, after a judge issued a 61-page opinion putting a hold on plans to rip out a separated bike lane and require the National Park Service and the Federal Highway Administration to conduct a more thorough review of the Trump administration’s plans to make the tourist-heavy area more accommodating to drivers.

Life is cheap in North Carolina, where the grandson of legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski was charged with misdemeanor DUI after killing a 15-year old boy riding a bicycle; evidently, drunk driving runs in the family. Something is seriously wrong when killing another human being while drunk, let alone a kid, doesn’t even merit a felony charge.

Bike Radar ranks the best bicycles of the 1990s, all of which are road bikes, and most of which even look like one.

No surprise here, as a study in the International Journal of Sustainable Transportation suggests that bicycling is an effective way to cope with fluctuating gas prices.

Londoners will once again turn to their bicycles as Tube drivers go on strike for four days.

A new study from the European Transport Safety Council says too many people are still getting killed on bicycles in the European Union, but that slower streets and protected bike lanes could help lower to toll.

An Indian man spent the last seven years riding across the vast country, planting saplings and trying to connect with everyone he met to call attention to looming threats to the environment.

No bias here. An Australian ad announcing the country is now at Level Two of the ‘National Fuel Security Plan’ due to the fuel crisis fueled by the war in Iran devotes a whole 1.5 seconds to using a bicycle, and the other 28.5 seconds to using your car more wisely, instead of not using it at all.

Two-time Belgian Olympic speed skater Sandrine Tas will make her professional cycling debut with the Lotto Intermarché Ladies cycling team at today’s La Flèche Wallonne Femmes.

 

Finally…

That feeling when it costs the equivalent of a 27¢ toll to ride where bikes aren’t even allowed. Your next ebike could have no gears and ride in reverse. Who says you have to carbo load before you ride?

And probably not the best idea to steal a police bike during the Boston Marathon.

Update: 78-year old man killed by SUV driver in San Marcos Tuesday; 6th bicycling fatality in San Diego County already this year

April 21, 2026 / / No comments

Someone who’s lasted nearly 80 years on this world deserves better than to die because they went out for a bike ride.

But that’s what happened in San Marcos Tuesday afternoon.

And it’s not likely to be changed this time.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the victim, identified publicly only as a 78-year old man, was struck by the driver of an SUV around 12:11 pm today.

Deputies found him down in the westbound lanes on the 1900 block of West San Marcos Boulevard, west of Rancho Santa Fe Road. Despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead around 15 minutes later.

A news photo shows a white Lexus SUV with a shattered windshield straddling the traffic lanes, suggesting the victim was struck at speed. Video shows what appears to be the victim’s covered body resting near the center divider.

But be sure you really want to see it before you click on either of the links in that last paragraph, because you can’t unsee it afterwards.

A street view shows a painted bike lane on San Marcos, although there’s no way of knowing was in it at the time of the crash. There’s a posted 45 mph speed limit, at least in the opposite direction.

The driver remained at the scene. Investigators aren’t sure at this time if drugs or alcohol were involved.

Anyone with information is urged to call the San Marcos Sheriff’s station at 760-510-5200.

This the 26th bicycling fatality that I’m aware of in Southern California this year, and the sixth already this year in San Diego County.

Update: The victim has been identified as 78-year old Olimpio Rodriguez Cervantes of San Marcos.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Olimpio Rodriguez Cervantes and all his loved ones.

Correction: Victim in last week’s Pomona collision was 13-year old middle school student riding an e-scooter, not an ebike

April 21, 2026 / / No comments

Let’s start with a correction.

It turns out that the victim of last week’s fatal Pomona collision was a 13-year old middle school student, who was riding an e-scooter to a friend’s house.

Not an ebike, as we originally reported.

Which does not make it any less tragic.

However, between researching and writing that story, then going back and correcting the story within minutes of posting it, I’m effectively out of time to write anything else tonight.

At least if I want to get any sleep at all.

So we’ll see you on Wednesday to catch up on whatever missed tomorrow. Which is starting to sound a lot like an old Popeye routine.

Update: Boy riding e-scooter dies two days after Pomona collision

April 20, 2026 / / No comments

Every bicycling death is tragic.

But somehow, it seems even worse when the victim is a kid.

That was the case in Pomona this week, where a boy died two days after he was struck by a driver while riding an ebike.

KTLA-5 reports the victim was riding on the sidewalk on the 1600 block of South San Antonio Ave, near Patterson Street, around 2:30 pm Friday, when he rode out into the street and was struck by a driver.

It’s not clear from the limited description whether he rode out into Patterson at the intersection, or went off the sidewalk and into the street on San Antonio.

A street view shows a bike lane on both sides of the street, so it’s questionable why the victim would have been on the sidewalk.

It’s also not clear whether he was riding was a legal Class 1, 2 or 3 ebike, or an illegal e-moto. Which is exactly the problem when the same word is used to describe anything with batteries and two wheels.

He was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Children’s Hospital Orange County, where he died on Sunday.

The victim hasn’t been publicly identified, and there’s no word at this time just how old he is.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, although police remain unsure whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the collision.

Update: Shortly after posting this, KNBC-4 and KABC-7 reported that the victim was a student Simons Middle School, a few blocks away in Pomona. 

Thirteen-year old Angel Mendoza was struck as he was riding an e-scooter to a friend’s house, and died of severe head injuries; he was not wearing a helmet.

A crowdfunding campaign has raise more than $12,000 of the $15,000 goal. 

Since he was not riding a bicycle, the number of bicycling deaths in Southern California remains at 25, and nine in Los Angeles County.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Angel Mendoza and all his family and loved ones.

81-year old man clings to life after Orange County e-moto hit-and-run, and 3-time world paracycling champ killed in Texas

April 20, 2026 / / One comment

This is who we share the road with.

An 81-year old Orange County man was left fighting for his life when he was run down by a 14-year old kid riding a electric motorcycle, who fled the scene afterwards.

The boy was reportedly riding recklessly when he collided with the victim as the older man was crossing the street. Deputies identified the suspect and arrested him after serving a search warrant at a nearby home in Lake Forest.

The Orange County Sheriffs Department reports he was on a Surron e-motorbike, which is not street legal and can reach speeds up to 68 mph, depending on the model.

And thanks to the OCSD for making it clear the boy on an e-moto, and not a Class 1, 2 or 3 ped-assist ebike.

Although not every media outlet was careful to make that distinction.

Meanwhile, Jalopnik correctly observes that confusing electric motorcycles with ebikes is more than just semantics.

………

Tragic news from Texas, where a three-time paracycling world champ and seven-time Paralympic medalist was killed by a driver on Thursday morning.

Fifty-four-year old Dory Sellinger lost his right leg and suffered a TBI in 1993 when a driver suffering a psychotic break intentionally plowed into a group of riders in Alamo, California, after hearing voices telling her to “Get the demons!” Another rider named Vladimir Quinn was killed in that crash.

A crowdfunding campaign to benefit Sellinger’s family has raised nearly $21,000 of the $25,000 goal.

And yeah, I gave to that one.

The war on cars may be a myth, but the war on bikes just keeps on going.

No bias here. London police are proudly going after the relatively few bicyclists caught running red lights, but only made arrests in 2% bike thefts, and none of the 106 hit-and-runs involving bicyclists last year; the meager 4% of hit-and-run cases resulting in a conviction were the result of drivers turning themselves in.

Once again, a bike trail has apparently been sabotaged, this time in France near the Swiss border, when someone strung a cable across the trail at eye level that knocked two kids off their bicycles while on a family outing.

But sometimes, it’s the people on two wheels behaving badly.

Maybe it’s the result of a bad translation. Two sets of South Korean parents were arrested and released on charges of child neglect after their middle school kids reportedly threatened people with their “Pixie” bikes, the site says is an abbreviation for “fixed-gear.” Can’t speak for you, but “pixie bike” kinda has a ring to it.
