Gates-Chili Bans E-Bikes on School Grounds | Rochester News

Gates-Chili School District just slapped a new safety rule on e-bikes and scooters: no riding them on school grounds. Even teens who are legally allowed to ride must power down and walk their devices in. Superintendent Dr. Mitchell Ball says younger riders often ignore traffic laws—running stop signs, sidewalk riding—and lack awareness, putting everyone at risk. Helmets? Mandatory. Parents? On notice to supervise. First offenses? Consequences like lost privileges—think parental grounding. Repeated or serious violations? Could lead to law enforcement involvement. This isn’t just about rules—it’s about keeping kids safe as e-bike use surges nationwide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
