Please take notice! These are becoming a very big issue throughout town and we are seeing more and more accidents with them!
*E-BIKES & E-SCOOTERS*
We’re seeing a big increase in E-Bike & E-Scooter use. Below are some of the regulations:
The Basics-
• E-bikes must be 750 watts or less & fall into Class 1, 2, or 3
• Over 750W? It is NOT an e-bike, it may require a license, registration, & insurance
Quick Rules-
• E-bikes & scooters are treated like bicycles
• Can ride where bikes are allowed
• Class 3 has extra restrictions: Under 15 cannot operate & under 18 a helmet is required
Traffic Laws Apply-
If you’re on the road, you must:
• Stop at stop signs & red lights
• Obey one-way streets
Lighting Reminder-
• At night, both e-bikes & scooters must have a white front light & red rear light or reflector visible from 500 feet
Parents-
Before you buy:
• Check wattage (750W or less)
• Check speed & class label
Many “e-bikes” sold are NOT street legal for kids.
