We've had some questions lately about e-bikes. Please see the nice quick-comparison chart provided by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, highlighting the differences between the classes of e-bikes and e-motos.

Above all, please educate your children about the safe operation of e-bikes in public spaces and following the rules of the road. Helmets are always encouraged, even if not required in certain circumstances!

⚠️ E-BIKES & ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES: KNOW THE LAW. RIDE SAFE.

We have already responded to very serious crashes involving young people operating e-bikes and electric motorcycles, and we want parents and riders to understand the risks.

Not every electric bike is legally considered an e-bike. Depending on its speed, power and design, it may be classified as an electric motorcycle, which comes with different requirements for where it can be ridden, licensing, registration and insurance.

Parents, please have a conversation with your children about safe and responsible riding. Know what they are riding, make sure they are wearing a helmet and understand where they can legally operate it.

Take a few minutes to review the attached infographic. Know the law before you ride.

🚲 Wear a helmet.
⚡ Ride responsibly.
👀 Stay alert and visible.
🚦 Obey traffic laws.
🛑 Ride only where permitted.

Ride smart. Ride legal. Stay safe.
