Miami Beach United SUPPORTS this ordinance regarding micromobility devices
because it promotes safety for operators,pedestrians and motorists.The ordinance
would state a definition for micromobility device,provide regulations,and sets penalties
for violations for micromobility devices in the public rights-of-way.We question,
however,whether adults over the age of 16 should be required to wear helmets when
motorcycles do not require them.
