Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is pushing for the state to become the first in the nation to regulate electric bicycles and scooters. The proposed rules, aimed at promoting safety and equity, would establish standards for e-bikes and scooters, including requirements for helmets, licensing, and insurance. As cities across the US grapple with the growing popularity of e-bikes and scooters, Healey's initiative could set a precedent for other states to follow. With the rise of micro-mobility, concerns about safety, accessibility, and infrastructure are escalating, making Healey's proposal a timely and critical step in addressing these issues.
