This week on "Know Your Ride," let's talk about e-bikes. The rules around e-bikes can seem complicated–it's all about knowing your class. E-bikes *must* be labeled with their class and wattage, and Class 3 bikes may not be operated by riders under 16.

In general, NO bikes should be operated on downtown sidewalks, and people over the age of 12 should not operate bikes on any sidewalks. Obey all traffic laws, wear a helmet, and ride cautiously.

Mopeds and motorized bikes with a max speed of 20 miles per hour or lower are street legal–with a license. Operators must have a driver's license, and riders aged 14-15 are eligible for a moped-only license.

This category does not include e-bikes–more on those next week!

These bikes may not be operated on any sidewalk or shared use path, and riders must obey all applicable traffic laws.

The Troy Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying the suspects shown in this video. An officer on patrol came across this scene on Chatham Dr. in Troy, and the pursuit was terminated on southbound I-75 near Vandalia. The vehicle involved had been stolen from Centerville.

Unfortunately, thefts of and from vehicles in residential neighborhoods continue to be a trend throughout the region. Suspects often target unlocked vehicles to steal cars, fi****ms, and other valuables. Residents are reminded to remove keys and valuables from their vehicles and always lock their vehicle doors to reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

A strong regional network of Flock cameras plays a critical role in quickly recovering stolen vehicles and assisting law enforcement in solving these crimes.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Officer Iverson at the Troy Police Department at (937)339-7525 ext 1401.

Catching up on our "Know Your Ride" series: drivers must have a specific license to operate a motorcycle or motor scooter anywhere in the City. Parents may be cited for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate one.

Again, traffic laws apply to everyone on the road.🏍️

In Ohio, scooters and e-scooters are classified as micromobility devices and can be ridden on streets or sidewalks–outside of downtown. Keep in mind that anything with the capability to go over 20 miles per hour does *not* fall into this category, cannot be ridden on any sidewalk, and may require a license.

Thinking about buying an e-bike, scooter, or other vehicle for yourself or your child? Small vehicles have exploded in popularity, and so have crashes and complaints involving young riders. Over the next few weeks, the Troy Police Department will share riding rules and reminders for small vehicles, and all vehicles on the road.
