Safety Tips

Electric Scooters (e-scooters) & Electric Bikes (e-bikes)

Bikes, eBikes and eScooters

In accordance with updated town ordinances and county regulations, only traditional (non electric) bikes and Class 1 low-speed (under 20 mph) pedal-assisted eBikes will be permitted on campus. Class 2 & Class 3 eBikes, as well as eScooters are NOT permitted on campus.

There is plenty of bike parking at school. Please be sure your child LOCKS their bike even when parked at school. Please also be sure your child knows proper bike safety protocol, follows all traffic rules and wears a helmet at all times. Once on school grounds, bikes must be walked.

More on e-bikes:
The safety of our students is our top priority. We want to ensure that all students who ride e-bikes to and from school are aware of and follow the relevant laws and policies. Marin County, including Tiburon and Belvedere, has adopted new ordinances under Assembly Bill 1778 to enhance e-bike safety for youth.

Here is a brief summary of the eBike policies for minors in Tiburon, Belvedere, and Marin County:

Marin County and Local Ordinances

Class 1 eBikes: These are low-speed pedal-assisted bikes with a motor that only provides power when the rider is pedaling and stops assisting at 20 mph. There is no age restriction for riding Class 1 e-bikes. Helmets are required if under 18.
Class 2 eBikes: These are low-speed throttle-assisted bikes that can be propelled by the motor alone, up to 20 mph. As of July 1, 2025, riders must be 16 years of age or older to operate a Class 2 e-bike. Helmets are required.
Class 3 eBikes: These are high-speed pedal-assisted bikes that can reach 28 mph. Under existing state law, riders must be 16 years of age or older and wear a helmet to operate a Class 3 e-bike.
eScooters: Under existing policy, riders must be 16 years of age or older and wear a helmet to operate.(e-scooters are not allowed on campus)

Important Reminders for all E-Bike Riders:

Helmets are required: All bike riders under the age of 18 are required by law to wear a helmet. The new ordinances also require all Class 2 riders, regardless of age, to wear a helmet.
Rules of the Road: eBike riders must follow the same traffic laws as motorists, including obeying all traffic lights, signs, and signals.
No Passengers: It is illegal to carry a passenger on an eBike unless the bike is specifically designed with a separate, permanent seat for a second person.

These rules are a response to a rise in eBike-related accidents among youth in Marin County. Tiburon and Belvedere have implemented these ordinances to promote safer riding habits for everyone in the community.
