Let's talk electric motorcycles; Surrons to be exact. #TrafficTuesday 

➡️ Surrons, like the one pictured above, have become extremely popular with youth around the city. But there are some misconceptions about the laws regarding them. 

➡️ While they may be called electric bicycles, Surrons ARE electric motorcycles and meet the definition in the Vehicle Code (CVC 4000). 

➡️ Surrons are motorcycles made for off-road use (per the manufacturer owner's manual) and must be registered at the DMV to be used on OHV designated areas only. 

So, what does this mean?

➡️ Surrons must be registered with the DMV to be ridden on the street (CVC 4000a), the rider must have a M1 license or permit (CVC 12500a), the rider must wear a DOT approved helmet (CVC 27803b) and must carry liability insurance (CVC 16028a).
