My car can easily hit 100 mph, but nobody bats an eye when I drive it down to the grocery store. Why’s that?

Because just being capable of doing something doesn't mean you're actually out there doing it.
​I keep coming back to that when folks talk about e-bikes.
​If an e-bike can go 28 mph, but the rider is just moseying along a busy trail at a smooth 12 mph, slowing down and being polite around folks... where’s the harm in that?

On the flip side, if somebody's tearing through a crowd of pedestrians at 25 mph on any kind of bicycle, well, that’s just plain dangerous.
​Sure, we need common-sense rules. But judging an e-bike solely by how fast it could go—instead of how it's actually being ridden—is barking up the wrong tree.

​Regulate the reckless behavior, not the machine's capability. That just makes good sense.

🚲 E-Bikes and the ADA: Rules & Reality
​Can an e-bike be used as an ADA mobility aid? Yes—under strict rules.
​Under federal law (28 CFR § 35.137 / § 36.311), an e-bike used for a disability is an Other Power-Driven Mobility Device (OPDMD). However, disability status does not grant unlimited privileges.
• ​Speed Limits Apply: Riders must match surrounding foot traffic—typically 3–5 mph indoors and local trail caps (10–15 mph) outdoors.
• ​Size/Weight Limits: Facilities can restrict heavy or wide e-bikes that create structural or trail safety hazards.
• ​Verification Rules: Venues cannot demand medical records—only "credible assurance" (a state placard or verbal confirmation).
​⚠️ A Warning on "ADA Stickers"
​Buying an online "ADA Sticker" has zero legal standing and will not override local safety laws.
​Faking a disability or displaying counterfeit state decals carries real risks:
• ​Fines: Citations for unauthorized motorized vehicles on pedestrian paths.
• ​Property Bans: Permanent trespass warnings from private facilities.
• ​Criminal Charges: Forging official state DMV decals is a misdemeanor fraud crime.
​Bottom Line: The ADA protects access, but e-bikes must still match the speed and safety of the environment.

The current backlash against e-bikes is driven by a classification problem. Parents are buying their kids high-powered electric motorcycles under the impression that they are just 'fast bicycles.' But an electric motorcycle is simply an extension of the traditional dual-sport bike—the only difference is the fuel source.

​The legal framework for these vehicles already exists: to ride a dual-sport on public streets, you need a license, mirrors, headlights, and registration.

Passing sweeping new restrictions on all e-bikes penalizes responsible cyclists while ignoring the real issue: a failure to classify and enforce electric motor vehicles under existing traffic laws.

Riding Smooth: Long Beach’s Latest Bike Path Upgrades for E-Bikers

Long Beach is making it safer and easier to cruise on an e-bike. Thanks to the city's latest infrastructure updates, major corridors are getting smoother surfaces and better separation from car traffic. Whether you use your e-bike for quick grocery runs or weekend coastal cruises, these recent upgrades offer a more relaxed, confident ride.

Top Upgraded Routes to Explore

The Beach Pedestrian & Bike Path:
Features fresh striping, smoother paths, and clearer separation from pedestrians between Shoreline Drive and 54th Place.

The Studebaker Road Corridor:
Currently transforming into a premium route with a wide, protected multi-modal path perfect for maintaining a steady e-bike pace.

The Clark Avenue Complete Street:
Offers excellent north-south access with concrete-curb barriers between Conant Street and Spring Street to keep cars out of your lane.

The Pacific & Orange Avenue Bikeways:
Adding miles of newly paved, dedicated lanes that connect local neighborhoods directly to transit and shopping centers.

Why These Upgrades Matter for Riders 60+Physical Separation: New concrete curbs replace painted lines, giving you a dedicated safety buffer from fast-moving traffic.Level Intersections: Upgraded crossings include traffic-calming bulb-outs and refuge islands, making left turns and stopping much less stressful.
E-Bike Friendly Geometry: Wider paths and smoother transitions help accommodate the slightly heavier frame and stable handling of comfort e-bikes.

Quick Tips for Your Next Long Beach Cruise
Watch Your Pace on the Coast: The beach path is flat and scenic, but always keep your speed modest when passing pedestrians and traditional cyclists.
Utilize the Buffers: When riding downtown, use the newly designed protected intersections to position yourself safely ahead of vehicle blind spots.
Check the Progress: Many of these routes are part of the city's Elevate '28 plan, meaning even more smooth connections are coming over the next two years.

This.....it is simple

What if we parked the car for short trips and took our trike instead? 🚲

In our blog “Replace Car Miles with Trike Miles,” we dig into how many car trips are under 3 miles — and how swapping just a portion of those for trike rides can benefit your health, wallet, and the planet.
