New Smyrna Beach Considers E-Bike Ban on Flagler Avenue Sidewalks and Shopping Centers

New Smyrna Beach Considers E-Bike Ban on Flagler Avenue Sidewalks and Shopping Centers

New Smyrna Beach city leaders are considering a new ordinance that would ban e-bikes from sidewalks in the Mainland Special Parking District and the Flagler Avenue Special Parking District, as well as in city shopping centers. The proposed restrictions are a response to growing safety concerns regarding e-bikes and other electric mobility devices, which have become increasingly common, particularly near the beach and the busy Flagler Avenue area. The ordinance would also prohibit mobile companies from staging rental e-bikes throughout the city. Violations of the proposed ban could result in a $150 fine. City officials state the goal is not to eliminate e-bikes but to improve safety and establish clearer guidelines for their operation, providing clearer rules for both riders and law enforcement.
