Last year the mayors council had announced a new law in effect for the boardwalk. The law states that Class I e-bikes will be allowed on the boardwalk, while Class II and Class III e-bikes are not permitted. Class I e-bikes can reach up to 20 mph but only with the assistance of the rider as they pedal. Class II e-bikes can reach the same speed as Class I unassisted by the rider. Class III e-bikes can reach up to 28 mph.
The pedestrian and bike committee have been working hard to maintain the safety of everyone on the boardwalk to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. As of right now there is no town code to have e-bike rentals on the boardwalk, however a meeting will be held this week to discuss future options.
To see if your e-bike qualifies to be on the boardwalk, please visit here.
Dear Mayors Council,
please consider allowing any class pedal assist ebike for senior riders ages 55 (or 60) and up.
Speed limit 5 mph. We can easily be identified and enforced visually. Thank you!
