The City of Yorba Linda will implement new rules for e-bikes and other personal mobility devices starting November 6, 2025. The ordinance sets local regulations for e-bikes, scooters, and similar devices. The City worked with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and other agencies to develop these rules.
The ordinance includes safety requirements.
