Berkley Weighs E-Bike Safety Rules | Detroit News

Berkley’s city council is set to vote tonight on new e-bike rules that could ban them from sidewalks and parks, amid rising crash rates and injuries — as police see more accidents and doctors treat more trauma, especially from riders not wearing helmets. With speeds reaching 30 mph, these bikes pose serious risks, echoing similar bans already in place in Dearborn Heights, Grosse Pointe Woods, and South Lyon. The proposed plan includes a 14-year-old minimum age for faster models and no helmet or age rules for slower ones — all aimed at balancing e-bike popularity with public safety.
