(KLZA)-- In response to recent inquiries received concerning the legality of e-bikes and Motor-Driven cycles on public street by both children and adults, the Falls City Police Department has reviewed state statutes concerning these types of cycles.

State statute allows for the operation of e-bikes, those which have fully operational pedals, on public streets while following the same rules of the road as a bicycle.

The Motor-Driven cycles, including electric motor scooters and electric motorcycles are in most cases classified as a motorcycle or minibike and are either not allowed to operate on public streets or may operate on public streets with proper licensing and registration.

Anyone with questions concerning these types of cycles may contact the Falls City Police Department at 402-245-4422.
