1. Deputies Conducting E-Moto Enforcement In Temecula (patch.com) — Temecula residents are being warned to follow the rules as Riverside County Sheriff's deputies step up enforcement on electric motorcycles, or e-Motos, around town. Recent operations led to 13 citations, towed e-Motos and pocket bikes, and safety talks with minors and parents. Officials stress that higher-powered bikes without pedals are classified as electric motorcycles, requiring a valid license to ride on public roads.
