EbikeLegalSource.com is owned and operated by Shiner Law Group, P.A. The firm owns the domain, controls and publishes the content, receives every inquiry made through it, and is the law firm that would provide any resulting legal services. It is the firm’s own advertising.
It is a practice-area website — a focused resource on Florida e-bike law — not a separate law firm. Nobody practices law under the name “EbikeLegalSource.com”. Any representation arising from this website is provided by Shiner Law Group, P.A., and retainer agreements, correspondence and pleadings identify that firm.
It is not an independent directory, a referral service, or a sponsored resource. No other law firm is named, linked, compared, or featured anywhere on this site, and no other law firm receives information submitted through it. Every inquiry goes to Shiner Law Group, P.A. and to no one else.
Why This Site Exists
Florida regulates electric bicycles in a handful of short statutes that are widely misquoted. Riders looking for an answer routinely find pages that cite a subsection that moved years ago, state a deadline that changed in 2023, or describe a bill that never became law. Some of those errors cost people their claims.
This site exists to state what the statutes actually say, quote the operative language, and cite it to the subsection it comes from — so a reader can check it rather than take our word for it.
How These Pages Are Written
Four rules govern every page here, and they are applied without exception.
- Every number is a figure fixed in a statute or a regulation, cited to the subsection that fixes it. There are no invented statistics, no unsourced averages, and no crash counts quoted from memory. If a figure cannot be cited, it does not appear.
- Statutes are quoted, not paraphrased. Where a provision was amended, the page names the session law that amended it. Where a citation has moved, the page says so — the negligence limitations period, for example, is now at Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a), not the § 95.11(3)(a) that a great deal of published material still cites.
- Where the law is genuinely unsettled, the page says so. It does not pick the answer that reads better. Whether personal injury protection reaches an injured e-bike rider is an open question in Florida, and the page on it is written as an open question.
- No case results, no settlement figures, no outcome predictions. This site publishes no past results and no average values, and it will not tell you what a claim is worth. That depends on facts no website has.
Each page carries a review date in the byline. Statutes are amended, and a page reviewed a year ago may no longer be right. Check the date against the date you are reading, and check the statute yourself before relying on any summary of it — including ours.
The Reviewing Attorney
Content on this site is legally reviewed by David I. Shiner, Esq., Founder of Shiner Law Group, Fla. Bar No. 572721.
David I. Shiner founded Shiner Law Group and has been a member of The Florida Bar since 2002. He is a graduate of Nova Southeastern University’s law school and holds an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell. The firm represents injured people across Florida from offices in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Pierce, Orlando, Wellington, and Belle Glade, and handles these cases on a contingency basis with free consultations and no attorney’s fee unless there is a recovery.
No commentary, quotation, or opinion is attributed to any lawyer anywhere on this site. The attorney block on each page states verified biographical facts and nothing else.
This Is Information, Not Advice
Nothing here is legal advice, and reading it does not make you a client. Every case turns on its own facts, and general information about a statute cannot tell you how it applies to yours. Submitting the case review form does not create an attorney-client relationship either — that relationship begins only when the firm and a client sign a written fee agreement.
If you were injured on an e-bike in Florida and want the specifics of your situation looked at, the consultation is free. Call (844) 352-2837 or use the case review form on any page.
Corrections
If you believe a statement of law on this site is wrong, out of date, or cites the wrong subsection, tell us and we will check it against the current statute. A correction that holds up gets made, and the page’s review date is restamped when it is.
