⚡🚲 A Friendly Reminder About E Bikes & Electric Motorcycles 🛵
The Clinton Township Police Department has shared an important update regarding electric bikes and electric motorcycles. In simple terms: not every electric “bike” is legally considered an e bike.
✅ Allowed on sidewalks, trails, and bike paths:
• E bikes with working pedals
• Motor under 750 watts
• Proper Class 1, 2, or 3 labeling
❌ NOT allowed on sidewalks or trails:
• Electric motorcycles like Sur Ron or Talaria style bikes
• Bikes without pedals or with pegs only
• High speed electric bikes that require registration and a license
A few additional reminders:
🪖 Helmets are required for riders under 18
🚸 Maximum speed on township trails/property is 10 MPH
🚶 Always yield to pedestrians and give warning before passing
Let’s work together to keep our neighborhood trails and sidewalks safe for everyone!
