Ebike Safety -Please see important “Safety First Information”

According to consumer sales reports, sales of electric bicycles in the U.S. soared 269% between 2019 and 2022.*

In Clovis and Fresno, municipal code prohibits riding a bicycle, e-bicycle or e-scooter of any kind on sidewalks in many locations. These vehicles should use bike lanes and follow all other traffic rules. For complete regulations, see City of Clovis municipal code 5.8.12 and City of Fresno municipal code Chapter 14 Article 17. If used incorrectly, e-vehicles could be impounded and require expensive fines to be returned to your family.
