Waikiki Neighborhood Board Chair Robert Finley said he sees e-bike riders popping wheelies all the time down Kuhio Avenue and Ala Wai Blvd. "They come in a group of about 20 doing wheelies all over the place," Finley explained. "Yesterday, right next to my car, I was at a stoplight and the kid, he lifted the wheel up, then he wheelied across the intersection. They scare me when they do it cause I'm worried about them." Finley said they've complained to police numerous times but said HPD told them there is no real ordinance. Now lawmakers are hoping to curb the dangerous behavior by making it illegal to do wheelies on an e-bike on public streets. Honolulu City Council Member Matt Weyer said the guidelines for the bill are simple. "On the public roadways, essentially, you have to keep both tires on the ground, right, so there's a clear standard that's observable if someone's cited for it," Weyer said.

Honolulu EMS said they responded to more than 200 e-bike injuries in the first 11 months of 2024. Weyer hopes this bill will help bring those numbers down. "It's not going to solve all of our e-Bike problems, but hopefully can serve as just another tool in the toolkit to help address the safety issues we're seeing in our community, particularly with so many youth doing or riding on e-bikes," he explained. Travis Counsell, executive director of Hawaii Bicycling League Executive and member of the City's e-mobility task force said there is a need for this regulation. "There's probably a time and place for wheelies, maybe in parades and other sort of expos, but probably not best on the public roadways," Counsell said. According to Weyer, anyone caught doing a wheelie would be issued a ticket and have to pay a fine that is to be determined.
