The SAFE Ride Act of 2025 mandates the Secretary of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to create a grant program supporting states with established electric bike safety initiatives. This program aims to enhance e-bike safety nationwide by incentivizing states to adopt comprehensive measures. To qualify for grants, states must demonstrate successful enforcement of safety requirements for shared e-bike systems , provide public education on helmet use and safe riding , and implement helmet safety laws aligned with national standards. Additionally, eligible states must collect and report e-bike accident data , including demographic information from shared mobility operators, and support local law enforcement in addressing unsafe underage riding. The bill also requires the Secretary to establish national standards recommending helmet use for e-bike riders under 18 and to develop publicly available curricula on general e-bike safety. These provisions aim to standardize safety practices and improve rider education across the country.
