HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s public works minister says the province plans to ban children under 14 from riding electric bikes this fall.
Fred Tilley says the age restriction is part of a slate of changes that will be made to the province’s Traffic Safety Act.
The minister says technology is allowing e-scooters and e-bikes to move much faster than before.
The province first restricted children under 14 from using e-scooters back in 2022.
