Friendly reminder, Fishers: Beginning Monday, officers may issue citations for violations of the City’s updated e-bike, e-scooter, e-moto, bicycle, and trail safety ordinance.
The ordinance was adopted to help keep our trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, and roadways safe for everyone who uses them.
A few key reminders:
-Class 3 E-Bikes are allowed where bicycles are permitted
-E-Motos are permitted on roadways only. Riders must be at least 15 with a valid ID. Riders 15-18 must wear a helmet.
-All E-Bike, E-Scooter, and E-Moto riders under 18 must wear a helmet.
-Reckless riding, unsafe passing, and excessive speed are prohibited
As the ordinance takes effect, we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to review the rules before heading out.
Most riders are already doing the right thing. Knowing the rules helps ensure everyone can enjoy Fishers’ trails and roadways safely.
Our goal remains the same: safe and enjoyable shared spaces for residents, visitors, pedestrians, cyclists, and riders alike.
The Fishers City Council has approved updated regulations for e-bikes, scooters, e-motos, trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, and roadways throughout the city.
During this process, we heard feedback from residents, riders, and trail users and changes were made to the ordinance as a result.
Updated provisions include:
-Class 3 E-Bikes are now permitted anywhere bicycles are allowed
-E-motos are restricted to roadways only and are not permitted on trails, sidewalks, or bike lanes
-All E-Bike, E-Scooter, and E-Moto riders under 18 must wear a helmet.
These updates are intended to improve safety, clarify where devices can operate, and help protect pedestrians and all users of Fishers trails and roadways.
Before you ride, make sure you know the rules!
