Proper and safe disposal of batteries prevents fires from starting in garbage trucks and recycling facilities, and helps keep toxic chemicals from entering our soil and water.

⚠️ Is It an E-Bike… or an Electric Motorcycle?

E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular, but the Troy Police Department has also seen an increase in unsafe riding and has recently responded to injury crashes involving e-bikes and electric motorcycles.

One important reminder: Not everything marketed or sold as an “e-bike” is legally an e-bike in Michigan.

🚲 E-Bikes
Michigan generally defines an electric bicycle as having operable pedals and an electric motor of 750 watts or less, with motor assistance limited to 20 or 28 mph, depending on the class.

🏍️ Electric Motorcycles
Some electric vehicles may resemble e-bikes but legally qualify as motorcycles. If they do, motorcycle laws apply, including licensing, endorsement, registration, insurance and equipment requirements.

Parents and riders: Know what you’re buying and understand the rules before hitting the road. Regardless of what you ride, ride responsibly, obey traffic laws, wear a helmet and watch out for pedestrians, vehicles and other cyclists.

These vehicles can reach significant speeds, and unsafe riding can have serious consequences.

Know what you’re riding. Know the rules. Ride responsibly.

For more information about e-bikes, e-motorcycles, and Michigan law, visit the League of Michigan Bicyclists E-Bike Guide here. https://lmb.org/e-bikes/
