Virginia Beach Tackles E-Bike Rules | Virginia Beach News

Virginia Beach is cracking down on e-bike chaos with bold new “Respect Our Resort” signs—yellow and blue, mounted high on light poles—to enforce rules from leash laws to no public drinking and no bench sleeping after 8 PM. The city’s e-bike crackdown stems from a task force’s safety recommendations, including pushing for state laws that give local governments more control over e-bike speeds and use. While the task force wanted e-bikes on the Boardwalk bike path, City Council said no. With 67 of 165 bike incidents this year involving e-bikes, the city’s rolling out education classes for families and joining a statewide work group tackling licensing, speed limits, and helmet laws—all to keep the Oceanfront safe and family-friendly.
