LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Concerns grow around the valley surrounding the safety of e-bikes and e-scooters.
Boulder City police and fire departments are raising awareness of the potential dangers.
They say the devices have become more popular in the city in the last couple years.
Police say they see kids and adults riding them in dangerous ways every day.
Sgt. John Glenn with the Boulder City Police Department said, “They’re not stopping at red lights. They’re not stopping for the crossing guards and the crosswalk. They’re just they think that they’re bikes and they don’t don’t apply to the or the laws don’t apply to them, which they do, unfortunately. So, you know, enforcement is the last step, but that is a a step that we’re willing to take to keep people safe.
Boulder City Police also say the city doesn’t have enough ordinances to properly regulate e-bike use. And say they’re hoping more will soon pass.
This week, the Clark County Commission introduced an ordinance to clarify the definition of a motorcycle and create rules on how e-bikes and e-scooters are used.
Boulder City Police have a new website on safety information on e-bikes and e-scooters.
