According to Seal Beach Police Department Chief Michael Henderson, the mission was led to ensure compliance with California e-bike laws and local municipal codes while prioritizing community safety.
“E-bikes are becoming more popular across our community, but with that growth comes safety concerns,” Henderson told Patch. “Our priority is keeping riders, pedestrians, and drivers safe. By combining education with enforcement, we are addressing unsafe behaviors and helping our residents better understand the laws designed to protect them.”
As a part of the operation, the SBPD officers engaged with riders directly, educating them on e-bike laws through dialogue and written pamphlets, Henderson said.
