E-bikes, delivery robots to get new rules in fast-moving NC transportation bill

North Carolina's House Bill 1094, advancing through the Senate, introduces regulations for electric bicycles and personal delivery devices. The bill classifies e-bikes, allows local governments to set usage limits, mandates helmets for riders under 18 on faster e-bikes, and modifies rules for delivery robots to increase their size, speed, and operational areas. Additional provisions address license renewals, highway signage privatization, and ferry system audits.
