Amazon says it won’t sell e-bikes in California that exceed state speed limits
May 11, 2026
After several deadly crashes, Amazon says it will no longer allow California sales of certain e-bikes that can go faster than state speed limits, according to Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
This comes after a consumer alert issued by California Attorney General Rob Bonta last month, which called for pedal-assisted e-bikes not to exceed 28 mph, plus a 20 mph limit on throttle-assisted e-bikes.
Bike safety advocates say Bonta’s guidelines will also better distinguish e-bikes from e-motorcycles. abc7
