This holiday season, as you make your list and check it twice, remember to follow e-bike safety advice.
E-bikes and E-scooters are fun to receive, but please know the LAWS to avoid criminal charges or fees.
Dirt bikes and motorcycles are not e-bikes in disguise. Shop smart, do your research, and you can save lives.
At speeds of 20 MPH and higher, you’re on a motorized bike. You need a license, registration, and plate – not allowed for a tyke.
The news has been full of E-bike dangers of late. Please help all of us avoid this same fate.
Under 17? Helmets are a must. A message for parents, in whom we trust.
No E-bikes on sidewalks, NRC trails, dirt paths, and at Morses Pond. Keep e-bikes off Wellesley school and athletic fields, and public areas where people bond.
Most important of all, please keep your eyes peeled. When encountering pedestrians, riders always MUST yield!
No reckless operation, use common sense, and show respect. Ride safely and have fun, with all boxes checked.
Have a safe & happy holiday season! From the Wellesley Police Department & the Town of Wellesley
