LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — With more e-bikes and e-scooters zipping around valley neighborhoods, parks, and school routes, the City of Henderson says it’s stepping up efforts to keep riders safe.
Henderson has received grant funding from the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety through its Vulnerable Road User Program” to expand community education and awareness around e-bike and e-scooter safety.

The money will support the city’s Ride Smart. Stay Safe. campaign, with new outreach focused on helping residents understand safe riding practices and the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motorcycles.
According to the city, the expanded campaign will include:
- Helmet giveaways to encourage safe riding
- Youth e-bike and e-scooter skills workshops focused on safety and rules of the road
- Public service announcement banners at local parks and schools
- Social media safety campaigns explaining e-bike and e-scooter laws and responsible riding
City leaders say e-device use has increased in recent years, particularly among students and teens.
The added education push also comes after recent updates to Henderson’s e-bike and e-scooter ordinances, which the city says are intended to improve safety and clarify which electric devices are allowed on city streets, parks, and trails.
More information about local rules and safety guidance is available through the City of Henderson’s website.
