🚨 ‼️ We have been getting a lot of questions and concerns regarding E-bikes. Please review the flyer. Officers will be enforcing E-Bike (along with other off road vehicle) violations.

🚲 Not every bike with a battery is considered an e-bike under Pennsylvania law. Some are classified as motor vehicles or off-road vehicles and can’t be legally ridden on public roads or in our parks.

Before you twist the throttle, take 30 seconds to check out this guide. It could save you from:
⚠️ A citation
⚠️ Vehicle impoundment
⚠️ A trip to court

If your e-bike has:
✅ Working pedals
✅ A motor under 750 watts
✅ A top assisted speed of 20 MPH
…you’re headed in the right direction.

Whether you’re riding to work, cruising the neighborhood, or just enjoying the outdoors, knowing the law helps keep **you—and everyone else—safe.

Share this post with a friend or family member who rides an e-bike. It might save them more than just a ticket! 💚🖤
