A new bill introduced in the New Jersey Senate would establish a speed limit of 15 miles per hours for all motorized bikes, electric bikes, and electric scooters on highways, roadways, and streets across the state.
This bill also requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to develop and implement a public information campaign concerning the operation of, and dangers to pedestrians and other vehicles interacting with, low-speed electric bicycles, low-speed motorized scooters, motorized bicycles, and motorized scooters. The campaign would also notify people operating these vehicles of their responsibilities concerning the safety of others.
