May 3, 2026 - In early March, a new bipartisan Bill H.R.7839 was introduced to Congress by representatives Jared Huffman (D-CA), Dave Min (D-CA), Mike Lawler (R-NY), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), the Safe Standards for Personal E-Bike and E-Moto Device Specifications Act, or the Safe SPEEDS Act.

The bill aims to give the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) the authority to define and regulate e-bikes and other electric micro-mobility devices, such as e-motos, at a national level in the U.S.

Endorsed by PeopleForBikes, the National Bicycle Dealers Association (NBDA), the League of Ameri- can Bicyclists and others, the new bill fills a regulatory void, as federal e-bike safety standards haven’t been updated since 2002.

PeopleForBikes says the bill is “a significant step forward in addressing the increased use of currently unregulated products like electric dirt bikes across the U.S.”
