The City of Las Vegas held a Recommending Committee Meeting on August 4, 2025, focusing on the regulation of electric bikes (e-bikes) and scooters. The meeting highlighted the need for improved safety measures and consistent enforcement of laws regarding these vehicles in Southern Nevada.

Councilman Bruni initiated the discussion, expressing gratitude for the insights gained about e-bikes and scooters over the past month. He noted the potential for enhancements in the region's regulations. Representatives from the Department of Public Safety and Metro Police were present to support the proposed ordinance.

Chief Jason Potts from the Department of Public Safety emphasized the safety concerns associated with e-bikes and scooters, particularly their speed and the potential damage they could cause in public parks. He confirmed the department's support for the ordinance, which aims to address these issues.

A significant point of discussion was the need for uniform helmet regulations. Council members expressed the importance of having consistent laws across city and county lines to avoid confusion for law enforcement. This consistency is crucial for effective enforcement, as differing regulations could lead to complications for officers from both jurisdictions.

The committee ultimately moved to approve Bill Number 2025-28, which aims to establish clearer guidelines for the use of e-bikes and scooters in Las Vegas. The approval reflects a commitment to enhancing public safety while promoting the use of alternative transportation methods in the city.
