All e-bikes must have prominent labeling containing the Classification Number, Top Assisted Speed, and Motor Wattage.

Electric-looking dirt bikes are not legal on public roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, parks, or trails, even if equipped with taillights or blinkers. To be legal, they require a license plate, registration, and insurance, similar to a motorcycle.

Local regulations are in place to ensure the safety of everyone sharing our roads and trails. Operators must follow all road rules and avoid negligent operations that endanger people or property or obstruct lawful travel; E-bikes cannot be used on trails designated non-motorized with natural surface tread including Torguson Park Pump Track; Class 1 and 2 e-bikes Class 1 are permitted on roads, bike lanes and non-motorized paved and improved surface recreational trails and shared paths; E-scooters and Class 3 e-bikes are not allowed on sidewalks unless no alternative exists; Class 3 e-bikes are prohibited on shared-use paths.
