Henrico bans class 3 e-bikes from certain shared-use paths
Summary
Ordinance 192-26 was approved to prohibit operation, stopping and parking of certain class 3 electric bicycles on designated shared-use paths; staff will work with Public Works to define path criteria and signage requirements.
The Henrico County Board of Supervisors approved ordinance 192-26 on Aug. 25 to prohibit driving, stopping, standing and parking of vehicles — including class 3 electric power-assisted bicycles capable of speeds up to 28 mph — on designated shared-use paths.
County staff said the ordinance adds class 3 e-bikes to the list of devices that can be restricted on specific shared-use paths and that Public Works will develop criteria and signage to identify those paths. As staff summarized, "Currently...this now is adding the class 3 electric bicycles, which can go up to 28 miles per hour." No members of the public spoke to the item and the board approved the ordinance after motions were recorded.
Officials said the rule will be implemented through identification of specific paths and signage at both ends before enforcement.
