Springdale Council has taken an early step toward regulating e-bikes, voting to advertise a proposed ordinance that distinguishes electric-assist bicycles from more powerful recreational vehicles.

Under the draft, qualifying e-bikes must have working pedals, a motor rated at no more than 750 watts and a motor-only speed of no more than 20 mph on level ground.

They could use roads open to bicycles, designated bike lanes and borough-approved paths, while higher-powered devices would be barred from public streets, sidewalks and borough property.

Springdale police recorded seven incidents involving vehicles described as e-bikes and four injuries so far this year, up from three incidents and one injury last year.

Police Chief Derek Dayoub has stressed education alongside enforcement, particularly for families who may not know which rules apply to a device they buy.

The proposal remains under discussion and is not yet law.
