About RidePermit (boilerplate)

RidePermit is a free digital e-bike permitting and safety-training platform for California families and school districts, built by LexBran Group, LLC. Founded by 30+ year technologist Anthony 'Tony' Bright, RidePermit was created independently out of personal concern for student e-bike safety and is designed to align with emerging California e-bike safety policy. The digital permit is always free to families and free to districts, with an optional physical decal available for a low fee ($25 new, $15 renewal).
