What this bill would do
The Safe SPEEDS Act requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to create a safety standard for classifying and labeling low-speed electric bicycles and other off-road electric devices. This standard must include distinct classifications, minimum age recommendations, and specific labeling requirements regarding motor power and maximum speed. The Commission is tasked with analyzing past crash, injury, and fatality data to inform these standards. It also mandates periodic studies on safety incidents and the creation of a public training module for identifying these devices. Additionally, the bill authorizes grants to help entities collect data and implement safety initiatives.
