Governor Maura Healey filed the "Ride Safe Act" to enhance the safety of e-bikes, e-motos, and other micro-mobility equipment. MassBike was an integral part of the Micromobility Commission that came up with the recommendations. It's a largely speed based approach, rather than the name of the device. Transit that is capable of going faster should require safety, like helmets, for riders.
