Lawmakers hear broad support for SB 6110 to define high‑powered 'e‑motos' and convene a study group
Summary
SB 6110 would clarify e-bike classifications and direct the Department of Licensing to convene a work group to study faster, throttle-driven electric vehicles ('e‑motos'); students, cities, parks and biking groups urged the change to protect trail users and young riders.
Committee staff described SB 6110 as a proposed substitute that maintains the existing 750‑watt threshold for e‑bikes while excluding vehicles capable of exceeding 20 mph solely on motor power and directing the Department of Licensing to convene a work group to recommend definitions, licensing, road rules and consumer disclosures by Dec. 15, 2027.
