On Saturday, May 30th, just before 8pm, the Town of Chester Police Department responded to a report of a motorcycle crash on Laroe Road between Gibson Hill Road and Bull Mill Road. Upon arrival, officers located a black 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle that had left the roadway. The operator, Patrick Grabowski, 35, of Florida, NY was located nearby and was deceased. The investigation revealed that no other vehicles had been involved in the crash and the operator failed to negotiate a curve on Laroe Road while travelling northbound. We were assisted at the scene by the Chester Fire Department, Empress EMS and the NY State Police.

As the weather is finally getting warmer and outdoor activities are increasing, we are sharing this chart explaining the differences in NYS between e-bikes, mopeds and e-scooters. It is important to note that you must be at least 16 years old to operate an e-bike or moped on a public roadway. While you do not need a license to operate an e-bike, the maximum allowable speed for an e-bike is 25mph. If it's faster than 25mph, it is classified as a different vehicle and probably requires a license and registration. If it's faster than 20mph, helmets are also required.
