Huntington Beach will now allow police officers to issue various citations for misusing e-bikes. They would also be able to confiscate them from underaged riders.

Huntington Beach will now allow police officers to issue various citations for misusing e-bikes, or even impound them.Many people in Huntington Beach enjoyed the last full day of summer by cruising up and down the coast. For many like Tamara Doss of Riverside, the most popular way to get around is on electric bicycles.

However, the popular bikes have also created a new level of danger for drivers, pedestrians and other bicyclists. The new ordinance gives the Huntington Beach Police Department the discretion to issue tickets to riders breaking the law. "Anytime we see someone doing something that is clearly unsafe, or that we can articulate is clearly unsafe, or if it's something that's already established in the vehicle code, like running a red light, running a stop sign, speeding, changing lanes without discretion for anyone around them," said HBPD Lt. Thoby Archer.
