Antrim Park Committee reiterates township ban on e-bikes with throttles
Summary
At its March 18 meeting the committee discussed e-bikes and recorded that a township ordinance bans e-bikes and electric vehicles with throttles from park walking paths, trails and grounds, while allowing mobility devices and class 1 e-bikes without throttles.
At its March 18, 2026 meeting the Antrim Township Park Committee recorded a detailed decision regarding e-bikes in township parks, noting that a township ordinance prohibits e-bikes and other electric vehicles equipped with a throttle from park walking paths, trails and grounds. The minutes note exceptions for mobility/handicapped devices and for class 1 e-bikes that do not have a throttle.
The committee discussion was recorded in the parks director’s report and the minutes provided no formal vote or recorded roll-call on the policy item. The minutes do not list enforcement steps, fines or an implementation schedule; the ordinance itself is cited in the minutes as the governing authority for the restriction.
Committee members did not attach new fees or a permitting scheme to the decision in the minutes. The record also does not include public comments or enforcement guidance; the minutes state only that the committee had a “detailed decision” and recite the ordinance limits. Additional operational direction, such as signage or patrols, was not specified in the minutes.
