California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 13, 2025

What SB 586 does, verified December 13, 2025

This bill defines the term "off-highway electric motorcycle" as a vehicle designed for off-highway use, powered by an electric motor, and meets certain design and safety requirements. The bill classifies off-highway electric motorcycles as off-highway motor vehicles, subjecting them to existing rules and regulations. This would expand the scope of existing crimes related to off-highway electric motorcycles, requiring local agencies to establish a program to enforce these regulations. The bill does not require reimbursement for the costs associated with implementing this new regulation.
