New E-bike Requirements Effective July 2026

Beginning July 19, 2026, New Jersey's new e-bike laws go into effect. With these changes, officers may issue summonses and, in certain circumstances, impound vehicles for violations.

The Oakland Police Department's primary goal is education. We are committed to helping residents understand the new requirements so everyone can ride safely and legally. However, once the law takes effect, enforcement will begin, and citations or impoundment may be necessary when violations are observed.

Please take a few minutes to review the new requirements and ensure you, your family, and your e-bike are in compliance before July 19.

Thank you to all Oakland residents and Borough employees who donated at yesterday’s blood drive! We exceeded our goal of 16 donors, receiving a total of 25 blood donations. It is wonderful to see our community come together to provide for those in their greatest hour of need. In an emergency, blood donation supplies can mean the difference between life and death. The Borough is grateful for those who took time out of their busy day to give a gift that recipients and their families will never forget.
