SAFE Ride Act of 2025

This bill directs the U.S. Department of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to create a grant program for states that have an electric bike safety program. To qualify, a state must enforce safety rules for shared e-bike systems, offer public education on helmet use and safe riding, adopt helmet laws modeled on national standards, collect and report e-bike accident data, and support local law enforcement. States must also give grant funding and guidance to local law enforcement to address unsafe underage riding, including penalties, impounding vehicles, and outreach. The Secretary would set national standards recommending helmet use for e-bike riders under 18 and publish e-bike safety curricula.
