The Central Marin Police Authority and the Town of San Anselmo would like to remind our community of laws regarding the use of E-Scooters and E-Bikes. Particularly E-bikes are rapidly increasing in popularity in our community with teenagers and adults. It's important that everyone knows the rules and laws and are prepared to manage the increased speeds and maneuverability of these new modes of transportation both before making a purchase and when preparing to venture out onto the road ways.
Here are some resources to help you and your family navigate this new technology:
