Council introduces ordinance to align borough e-bike rules with new state law
Summary
Ordinance O-26-12 was introduced to amend the borough's low-speed electric bicycle rules to conform with state legislation (S4834 and A6235); a public hearing was set for April 8, 2026 at 6:30 PM and the ordinance lists July 19, 2026 as its effective date.
Councilman Bray introduced Ordinance O-26-12 on March 18, 2026 to amend Ordinance O-24-22 on low-speed electric bicycles so the borough's definitions and penalties align with state law recently enacted as S4834 and A6235 on January 19, 2026. The council passed introduction by title only and scheduled a public hearing for April 8, 2026 at 6:30 PM.
The ordinance text included an effective date: "This ordinance shall take effect on July 19, 2026." Until that date the existing Ordinance O-24-22 will continue to control where it does not conflict with the new statute.
