California is trying to close the last major electric bike loophole

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
California lawmakers are addressing a significant loophole in electric bike regulations with Assembly Bill 1557, introduced by Diane Papan. The bill aims to clarify that e-bikes sold in California must not exceed 750 watts of peak motor power.

This legislation seeks to eliminate ambiguity and ensure compliance with safety standards.
