The vote was postponed to May 12 due to community opposition. The proposed ordinance bans class 1 and class 2 e-bikes for kids under 12. More powerful e-bikes and e-motos are already restricted.

The ban will affect riders 12 and under who ride a class 1 or class 2 e-bike, which provides assistance up to 20mph. Many class 1 and 2 e-bikes designed for kids top out at lower speeds for safety. These aren’t the much more powerful e-motos.
