Micromobility and e-moto regulation
Summary
The council's rewrite of the micromobility ordinance is stuck in committee again, with electric unicycle riders urging the city to police behavior instead of device wattage and speed capability. A pediatrician-councilor defends helmet rules for riders under 18, while another councilor wants a minimum age for e-bikes on the Monon.
