ποΈ π¨ Peoria Updates Rules for E-Bikes and Motorized Cycles π¨ ποΈ
Electric bikes (e-bikes) are very popular, and they can be seen across the city. But some of these devices are not legal to ride on the streets of Peoria.
ποΈποΈποΈ
Updated ordinance defining each type of device:
β’ Electric Bicycles (E-Bikes):
Lower-powered devices (under 750 watts, up to 28 mph) that are treated similarly to traditional bicycles.
ποΈ
β’ Motor-Driven Cycles:
More powerful vehicles capable of speeds up to or exceeding 60 mph. These are not permitted on public streets because they do not meet state licensing, registration, and insurance requirements.
ποΈ
β’ Electric Motorcycles:
High-powered vehicles that must be properly licensed, registered, and insured for street use.
ποΈ
Where You Can Ride
β’ E-bikes are not allowed in city parks, community parks, sports complexes, or municipal campuses.
β’ Motor-driven cycles may only be used in areas permitted by law, such as designated desert locations.
β’ Riders on streets and shared-use paths must follow all traffic laws and safety rules.
