S 3584 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires use of helmets when operating or riding upon electric bicycle or electric scooter.

New Jersey's S 3584 requires all operators and riders of low-speed electric bicycles and scooters to wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet meeting state safety standards. This applies to both the rider and anyone using an attached restraining seat on the vehicle. Violations carry fines of up to $25 for a first offense and $100 for subsequent offenses. The bill aims to reduce head injuries, citing increased crash risks compared to traditional bicycles as its justification.
