Know Before You Ride! ⚡🚲🛴🏍️

Not all electric rides are treated the same under Wisconsin law. Whether you're riding an e-bike, e-scooter, or electric motorcycle, it's important to know the rules before you head out.

Before you ride, make sure you know:
✅ How your vehicle is legally classified
✅ Whether a driver's license, registration, and insurance are required
✅ Where you can legally ride

A common misconception is that all electric bikes and scooters can be ridden anywhere. Depending on the type of vehicle, different laws and restrictions apply.
Take a moment to review the graphic below so you can ride safely, legally, and respectfully. Understanding the rules helps keep everyone safe.

The kids camp provides children ages 6-14 who lost a parent/guardian in the line of duty with grief counseling and traditional camp activities.

The program offers families a safe space to connect with peers who share the same trauma, alongside age-appropriate counseling and fun, such as archery, swimming, and arts and crafts.

Know Before You Ride!
Not all motorized two-wheeled vehicles are treated the same under Wisconsin law. Whether you're riding a motorcycle, moped, or gas-powered bike, it's important to understand the licensing requirements and where you can legally ride.

Before heading out, make sure you know:
✅ What your vehicle is legally classified as
✅ Whether you need a driver's license, motorcycle endorsement, registration, and insurance
✅ Where you can and cannot ride

A common misconception is that these vehicles can be operated on sidewalks, bike paths, or in city parks. In many cases, they cannot. Understanding the rules helps keep everyone safe and can prevent costly citations.

Please take a moment to review the graphic before your next ride. If you're unsure how your vehicle is classified, check the engine size, top speed, and whether it has working pedals.

Ride responsibly, follow the law, and help keep our roadways, sidewalks, and parks safe for everyone.

Speed limits aren't just numbers on a sign, they're there to protect everyone on the road.

Recently, Officer Bruff has stopped several drivers traveling well over 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. At those speeds, you have significantly less time to react, your stopping distance increases dramatically, and the risk of a serious or fatal crash rises.

Saving a few minutes isn't worth risking your life or someone else's.

Slow down, obey the posted speed limit, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
