An Act to enhance the safe use of micromobility devices

This bill updates Massachusetts vehicle laws to create a clearer legal framework for various small transportation tools like e-bikes, scooters, and wheelchairs. It achieves this by adding specific definitions for new categories such as "Class 3 e-bikes," "micromobility devices," and "powered micromobility devices" to existing state statutes. The legislation also clarifies rules for motorized bicycles, requiring annual registration and prohibiting their use in bike lanes, while establishing a speed-based classification system for future regulations. By refining these terms and operational rules, the bill aims to help law enforcement and the public better distinguish between different types of devices used on roads and sidewalks.
