We've been cracking down on Surrons and e-bikes modified to exceed the 15.5mph speed limit for e-bikes. If you own an electric bike, know the law - if you're caught with a de-restricted bike, you could face fines, points on your licence, and even seizure of your bike.

Think your e-bike is actually an e-bike? 🚲⚡ Officer Donaldson recently stopped a rider after observing what appeared to be an electric-assisted bicycle traveling more than 30 mph in the bike lane without the rider pedaling. During the stop, the rider explained the bike could be adjusted to different power settings, including one that allowed it to operate without pedaling. Under Washington law, those features can change how the vehicle is classified and what rules apply. As more high-powered e-bikes hit the road, it’s important to know the difference. Not every bike marketed as an e-bike meets Washington’s legal definition of one, and some may actually be classified as electric motorcycles with different licensing, registration and equipment requirements. If you own an e-bike, take a few minutes to make sure you know the rules before you ride. To view an accessible, audio described version of this video, visit: #vanpoliceusa #bodycams

Parents, electric dirt bikes are NOT e-bikes. Walton County Sheriff's Office, Florida is seeing an increase in electric dirt bikes, also called “e-motos”, being ridden in neighborhoods and on public roads. Monday, six of these electric dirt bikes were impounded and citations were issued to juveniles 11-14 years old. Many Do NOT have pedals, have high-powered motors, and are designed only for off-road use. Under Florida law, these vehicles are NOT street legal. It’s illegal to ride electric dirt bikes or "e-motos" on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks in Walton County. Driving an unregistered, electric dirt bike on a public road can lead to citations, fines, impoundment, and a mandatory court date. Parents are responsible for making sure e-motos are used legally and safely. Even if it was a gift for Christmas and thought to be an e-bike, many of these are electric dirt bikes and the rules of the road are different. Allowing a child to ride an e-moto on streets or sidewalks puts them and everyone around them at serious risk. E-Bike vs. Electric Dirt Bike or E-Moto ✅ E-Bike: • Has pedals with electric assist • Designed for roads, bike paths, and shared spaces • Typically, lower speeds and requires less protective gear • Less than 750 watts • Can travel 28 mph or less depending on class of bike • Classified as a bicycle 🚫 Electric Dirt Bike / E-Moto: • All throttle • Higher power and higher speeds • Built for off-road terrain only • Requires full protective gear • 750 watts or more • Can travel up to 70 mph • Classified as a motor vehicle ➡️ NOT legal on streets or sidewalks Our goal is education and safety. Not enforcement after something goes horribly wrong and ends in a tragedy. When these e-motos are operated illegally on public roads and sidewalks, enforcement action will be taken. We're here if you need us.

Illinois Democrats are getting ready to force residents to pay registration fees and get insurance on their electric scooters “If you have an e-bike or electric scooter, you will soon have to register it like you would your car” The legislation was rushed through and is already headed to the governor’s desk “Lawmakers talked about the state's first comprehensive framework on electric transportation devices. It would require owners of, say, an e-bike or on an e-scooter that can go faster than 28 miles per hour have a driver's license, title, registration, and insurance. The bill is trying to regulate electric modes of transportation in order to make them safer. The legislation now heads to the governor's desk.” I can’t believe it but it’s real It’s Senate Bill 3336 and related measures like SB 3484, it has passed both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly The bill creates Illinois’ first comprehensive statewide framework for “micromobility” devices, addressing gaps for higher-powered models that current low-speed e-bike rules High-speed devices: E-bikes, electric motorbikes and similar that can exceed 28 mph Owners and operators need: - Valid driver’s license - Title (ownership). 1 Registration (fees apply, similar to vehicles). - Liability insurance. - They are subject to DUI laws and must generally stay on roads All Democrats do is charge you for things that used to be free

Do you or your kids own an electric motorcycle, also known as an e-dirt bike? These vehicles are NOT street legal. We’ve received reports of youth riding them on public roads, often in a dangerous manner that puts themselves and others at risk. Enforcement has been stepped up, and parents may also face fines if their children are found operating these vehicles unlawfully.
