Safe SPEEDS Act

Sponsored By: Representative Min, Dave [D-CA-47]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a uniform classification and labeling system for low-speed electric bicycles and other off-road electric devices. The bill would require clear point-of-sale labels, age recommendations, ongoing crash and injury tracking, and grants and training to support data, enforcement, and public education.

Show full summary
  • Families and riders would see permanent, visible labels at sale showing the device classification, motor power, maximum motor-only speed, and a minimum age recommendation. Some off-road devices would also be labeled as not intended for on-road use.
  • Manufacturers and retailers would have to classify and label products to the new standard and could not sell or display devices that bypass definitions by increasing speed or motor power or that lack operable pedals. The standard would be treated as a Consumer Product Safety Act rule and could be updated by notice-and-comment rulemaking.
  • State, local, and tribal governments, researchers, and enforcement agencies would get grants and a public training module to improve data collection, reporting, and classification interoperability and to support periodic, age- and device-disaggregated crash and injury analyses.

*Authorizes $2.5 million annually in grants for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, totaling $12.5 million, to support data collection, training, and public education.*

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Data, grants, and training for e-bikes

If enacted, the CPSC would study crashes, injuries, and deaths tied to low-speed e-bikes and other off-road electric devices starting no later than two years after the standard is issued and regularly after that. Studies would break out results by user age and device type, and the CPSC would publish each study and send it to Congress within 30 days. Where feasible, the studies would include a five-year lookback. The bill would authorize $2,500,000 each year for grants from 2027 through 2031 to help states, tribes, and local agencies collect and report data and run public education. The CPSC would also create a free public training module to teach responders and data collectors how to identify and classify these devices.

National rules for electric bike labels

If enacted, the CPSC would publish a national safety standard within one year. The standard would create clear classes for low-speed electric bicycles and similar off-road electric devices. Devices would need a permanent label stating class, motor power, maximum motor-only speed, and a minimum age recommendation. Off-road devices would also need to say they are not for on-road use and do not meet vehicle safety standards. The rule would bar sale or display of products labeled as low-speed e-bikes that do not meet the definition, can be modified to exceed it, or are off-road devices without operable pedals. The CPSC could change the rule later through notice-and-comment rulemaking after consulting stakeholders.
