Council adopts ordinance regulating electric motorcycles in city code
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 2839, a municipal code amendment defining the use and operation of electric motorcycles; the committee recommended approval with a request for publicized training.
The council adopted Ordinance 2839 on second reading, amending the municipal code to add a new chapter addressing the use and operation of electric motorcycles within city limits.
City clerk Justin read the ordinance title into the record: "An ordinance of the city of Enumclaw, King County, Washington relating to the use and operation of electric motorcycles and adopting a new chapter 10.42 within the Enumclaw city code." A committee report noted no objections to the ordinance other than a request that training be publicized. Council moved, seconded and passed the ordinance by voice vote.
Police staff were available to answer questions and the committee requested training for officers and the public if needed. There was no recorded dissent.
Why it matters: The ordinance creates a standing code framework for electric motorcycles, and the committee’s training recommendation signals follow‑up implementation work for police and public education.
