CALIFORNIA LAW:
The California Vehicle Code treats bicycles as VEHICLES, so same laws apply to cyclists as motorists. Cal VC 21200 treats eBikes same as bicycles.
LAGUNA BEACH LAW:

(a) It is unlawful for any person, except for authorized law enforcement personnel, to operate a bicycle upon any sidewalk, the Main Beach Boardwalk, or any area within any city park.
