Welcome to the 2025–26 school year! Manhattan Beach Unified School District is continuing its E-Bike Safety Initiative, which requires all 6th–12th-grade students who ride an e-bike to school to have an MBUSD-registered sticker affixed to their e-bike. Students are required to complete an approved safety class to be eligible to receive a sticker and park their e-bike at school. The District’s approved safety classes are offered only through PedalAce and E-Bike Sense. Students who successfully complete one of these courses, either through District-sponsored classes offered free of charge through E-Bike Sense or through private enrollment in either program, will be issued stickers once we have confirmed their certification. Please note that each sticker will be numbered and registered to the individual student who earns it. Certification only needs to be completed once and will be valid as long as the student remains enrolled in MBUSD schools.
If your student has already completed or will complete a private class through PedalAce and E-Bike Sense and has not previously been issued a sticker, please submit their certificate of completion to the front office after August 11th. Once verified, a sticker will be issued to immediately be placed upon the e-bike. Certificates will be cross-referenced with lists provided to the school by Pedal Ace and E-Bike Sense.
Please use this link if you would like to sign up for an upcoming District-sponsored in-person class through E-Bike Sense, available at no cost on a space-available basis. Students MUST bring their street legal e-bike and helmet to the class.
Note that all e-bikes parked off campus MUST be parked legally and not blocking pathways, sidewalks, etc. Bikes illegally parked may be subject to fines or confiscation by MBPD. E-bikes parked on campus without a sticker will be confiscated by school site administration and subject to after-school parent pick up.
In order to get a head start on e-bike safety, you can also have your student take this free safety and training course designed and offered by the California Highway Patrol. It is a good way to help orient our e-bike riders to the rules of the road and ride more safely. This course will not fulfill the requirements for a sticker but will help your student be safer on the road.
We will continue to share important updates about this initiative. We appreciate your continued support of student safety. Working together, we can ensure a safer environment and promote responsible e-bike usage.
