With the increasing number of electric conveyances being utilized in our city, the police department has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries regarding what defines an e-bike versus an e-motorcycle, the laws/regulations surrounding their use, and other safety considerations. The Police Department will deliver a brief presentation covering e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-scooters, and applicable laws. The purpose of this presentation will be to provide information to both Council and the community in an effort to increase safety and awareness around these types of vehicles. No response or action will be requested.
