Background
During the 2025 Legislative Session, State Legislature adopted SB 462, codified in Chapter 2025-149, Laws of Florida, which allows local governments to establish regulations regarding micromobility devices, defined as a “motorized transportation device designed for individual use which is typically 20 to 36 inches in width and 50 pounds or less in weight and which operates at a speed of typically less than 15 miles per hour but no more than 28 miles per hour. This term includes both a human-powered and a nonhuman-powered device such as a bicycle, electric bicycle, motorized scooter, or any other device that is owned by an individual or part of a shared fleet.” At August 18, 2025, Regular City Commission Meeting, the City Commission provided direction to adopt an ordinance regulating micromobility devices pursuant to the authorization in Florida Statutes.
