Electric Bikes
In response to growing interest and evolving trends in the usage of electric bicycles we would like to begin by explaining the different classes of e-bikes. Class 1 is pedal-assist only, with no throttle and a maximum speed of 20 mph. Class 2 is pedal and throttle-assist with a maximum speed of 20 mph. Class 3 has the same riding as Class 1 but the maximum speed is 28 mph. Orange Village welcome Class 1 and 2 e-bikes ONLY onto our recreational trails and sidewalks. We want to emphasize the importance of safety for all users. Riding an e-bike slowly and cautiously near runners, walkers, and parents pushing strollers is essential to ensure the safety of everyone.
We encourage e-bike and bicycle riders to practice good riding etiquette. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the Orange Village Police Department at (440) 498-4401.
Together, let’s ensure that our trails and sidewalks continue to be a safe and enjoyable space for everyone to use. |
