Community Cycles' Position on Electric Bicycles
Community Cycles enthusiastically supports electric bicycles, which have democratized cycling for people of all ages and abilities. By enabling longer commutes, e-bikes offer a promising solution to reduce automobile traffic and its associated environmental impacts.
However, this technological advancement brings new safety challenges on our shared paths. We believe in balancing innovation with responsibility through these principles:
Responsible Use of E-Bikes - We support expanding traffic regulations that embrace e-bike adoption while prioritizing pedestrian safety. High-speed e-bikes operated recklessly endanger everyone on community paths. We strongly oppose tampering with built-in speed limiters that manufacturers include for safety.
Classification and Regulation - Easily modifiable e-bikes like the Super 73 present particular concerns by blurring regulatory boundaries. We advocate that e-bikes operating outside their intended classification should be regulated as electric scooters or mopeds, requiring appropriate licensing, registration, and insurance.
Enforcement Responsibility - The enforcement of traffic safety laws for e-bikes should rest with local governments—not manufacturers or retailers—mirroring how we manage automobile traffic. This includes addressing unsafe behaviors like underage operation of high-powered e-bikes, especially with multiple passengers.
Community Cycles remains committed to fostering regulations that ensure all path users—cyclists, pedestrians, and e-bike riders alike—can enjoy safe, accessible, and pleasant experiences on our community's multi-use trails.
