What do you love about riding bicycles of any kind?? We love the freedom bikes give us to explore the neighborhood. 🚲

Here's a helpful info guide on e-bikes and e-scooters from the Elyria Police Department .

🚲🛴 E-Bikes & Electric Scooters: Know Before You Ride

E-bikes and electric scooters are becoming more common on Elyria streets, sidewalks and bike paths. But do you know the rules that apply to them?

We put together a quick guide to help riders understand the different types of e-bikes and electric scooters, where they can be operated, and some important rules to keep in mind.

Ebikes and scooters are welcome in our community but reckless and unsafe operation is not. We will continue to educate riders but when behavior puts the community at risk, enforcement will follow.

Please operate responsibly our officers will be enforcing the law especially for unsafe and reckless operation.
