How it works

  1. Step 1
    Sticker on the bike

    Every permitted student receives a tamper-evident sticker with a unique QR code. It goes on the bike frame — visible and permanent.

  2. Step 2
    Point and scan

    Any smartphone camera reads the QR code instantly. No app to download. No account needed. Works on every iPhone and Android. The result shows permit status only — no personal details, no home address, no parent information.

  3. Step 3
    Live result in under 1 second

    The screen shows the permit status in real time — pulled directly from the RidePermit database. If a permit is revoked after the sticker is printed, the next scan shows red.

Platform

Everything a district needs in one place.

Digital permit application paired with a CHP-aligned safety module that's documented and timestamped for every student.

Parent & District App

A mobile experience for parents, plus a real-time compliance dashboard with audit-ready records for district staff.

Regulatory tailwinds

California is moving fast on e-bike rules. Districts need to keep up.

New legislation and city-level ordinances are pushing schools toward formal training, registration, and age verification — the exact documentation RidePermit helps districts capture and demonstrate.

AB 1942

Authorizes a statewide e-bike safety education program tailored to California riders.

AB 1569

Establishes new safety and operating requirements for Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes.

Local bans

Six California cities — including Carlsbad and Encinitas — have enacted under-12 e-bike bans, with more proposed.
