OCEAN CITY — A clearly divided Mayor and Council this week voted to approve the use of certain electric bikes, or e-bikes, on the Boardwalk and not others after considerable debate.
With the increasing popularity of e-bikes in and around the resort area, the Mayor and Council earlier this year charged the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to review the town code and see if and where they fit in to the ordinance covering bicycles, scooters, mopeds and other two-wheeled vehicles. During his review of last week’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee meeting, Councilman Tony DeLuca said the committee worked with the Ocean City Police Department and the owner of a bike rental shop to determine there are different classes of e-bikes, each with their own capabilities regarding speed, for example.

ReplyDelete- what's the plan for the remainder of the fiscal/budget year since the season went POOF?
- lack of revenue coming in means cuts are needed to balance
- talk about voting in Nov so we old folks will now ahead of time rather than listening to rumors
- need solutions to challenges that face our city, not bitching about e bikes... You all look silly on television each and every week
- many of u better be planning for retirement or another career.
E bikes? Really?
