speed throttle-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor used exclusively to propel the bicycle and NOT capable of providing assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.
* Class 3: A low speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a speedometer, and a motor which provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance
when a speed of 28 mph is reached.
The operator of a Class 3 electric bicycle:
* Must be 16 years old or older.
* Must wear a bicycle safety helmet.
* Must not transport passengers.
* May ride an electric bicycle in a bicycle lane if authorized by local authority or ordinance.
Motorized Bicycles Or Moped
A motorized bicycle or moped is a two or three-wheeled device, capable of no more than 30 miles per hour (mph) on level ground, and equipped with:
* Fully operative pedals for human propulsion.
* A motor producing less than four gross brake horsepower and an automatic transmission.
* No pedals if powered solely by electrical energy (CVC §406(a)).
* Motorized bicycles may ride in a bicycle lane if authorized by local authority or
* ordinance.
Motorcycles
A motorcycle is a motor vehicle with a seat or saddle for the rider and is designed to travel on not more than three wheels and whose motor displaces more than 150 cubic centimeters.
Let’s do a quick equipment check. Your bike must have a brake, it needs to be the right height to put your foot down, and handlebars cannot be higher than your shoulders. At night
the bicycle must be equipped a head lamp, a rear facing red reflector, and white or yellow reflector on the wheels, front, and rear of the bicycle (California vehicle code 21201 a-d).
Once that is checked off, we are ready to ride.
Since the bicycle is to be used like a motor vehicle, let’s talk about the rules of the road. Riders must ride in the same direction as traffic and can ride in the roadway as long as
they are riding with the flow of traffic. If they are moving slower than traffic, Per California Vehicle Code 21202, individuals who ride must ride the bike as close as possible to
the right side of the street. Allowable exceptions are when making a left turn, passing another when roads narrow, or construction zones.
Make sure to know the proper hand signals for left, right, and stopping. This will indicate to other driver’s your intention to make a turning movement prior to making the turn. If
you’re making a lane change or positioning yourself in the lane to make a left turn, make sure to look over your shoulder to determine if the lane is clear. Use your hand signal to
indicate your turning movement. If clear, proceed with your movement always yielding to other vehicles on the roadway.
Obey all signs and signals. This includes all roadway signs applicable to vehicular traffic. You must obey stop signs and red signal lights and cannot cross through an intersection
with a yellow signal. Yes, you can get a citation for riding above the speed limit as well. A crosswalk is designated for foot traffic and not bicycles. Do not ride your bike in a
marked crosswalk. If you want to cross in a cross walk, you will have to get off your bike and walk it as a pedestrian.
Try to use bicycle lanes when ever available. Diamond Bar has many well painted bicycle lanes throughout the city. Bicycle lanes in Diamond Bar are solid white lines that turn into
dotted lines prior to an intersection indicating that vehicles can merge into the bike lane. As vehicles pull into the lane to make a designated right turn, move to your left and pass
the vehicles as you proceed straight.
I know this was a lot of information, but I hope you find it helpful and maybe you learned something you did not know before. Be safe as you bike through this beautiful city.
