New E-Bike & E-Scooter Guidelines for River Falls!
Thinking about cruising around town on an electric ride? The River Falls Police Department wants to make sure everyone stays safe and follows the rules of the road.
We’ve put together a handy E-Bike Safety Fact Sheet to help you understand the differences between Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes, electric dirt bikes, and e-scooters.
Key takeaways to remember:
* Know where to ride: Most e-bikes are welcome on bike lanes, paths, multi-use trails, and roads. Electric dirt bikes are restricted to private land with permission.
* Age requirements: Class 3 e-bikes require riders to be 16+. E-scooters have specific age and supervision rules for riders under 12.
* Safety first: Always wear a helmet, use a light at night, yield to pedestrians, and follow all traffic laws.
