Council delays e-bike ordinance; Chief Talbot to revise draft
Summary
Pleasant View tabled Ordinance 2026-13 on electric bicycles and related devices so staff can revise the draft to address safety, definitions aligned with Utah law, speed limits, and enforcement challenges.
The Pleasant View City Council on May 26 discussed proposed regulations for electric bicycles, motor-driven cycles and related devices and elected to table Ordinance 2026-13 for further work. Chief Stetson Talbot reported that complaints mainly involve groups of youth riding recklessly — speeding, weaving through pedestrians, and nearly causing collisions on sidewalks and shared pathways.
Council members weighed safety concerns against allowing families and commuters to use e-bikes, discussed possible speed limits tied to Utah statutory definitions, and noted enforcement limitations. Councilmember Ann Arrington moved to table the ordinance and directed Chief Talbot to incorporate discussion points into a revised draft; the motion passed 3-0.
