Stopped the Ban

Huntington Beach Reverses Electric Bike Ban On Boardwalk!!

Huntington Beach reverses e-bikes ban on beach trail – O.C. Register

Thanks to everyone who helped support the “Stop The Ban” campaign.  Electric bikes will now be allowed on the beach path that lines the sand in Huntington Beach, but more education and enforcement is needed, officials said, to ensure the fast-moving bikes can co-exist with other path users. The City Council on Monday, April 5, voted unanimously to strike a previous ban on e-bikes put in place in 2017, before the recent surge in popularity.

​Councilwoman Natalie Moser noted that with the ordinance being repealed, the city will need to address speed limits and how to enforce rules. 

​

It is up to us to ride at safe speeds when sharing the path with pedestrians too. I’d like to thank Craig Bradford and Frank Hayes both retired firefighters and Elux Owners who played a key role in the campaign. Their input and participation with the city council was one of the prime drivers of and key to the reversal of the ban. Big thanks to Both Frank and Craig!

Take Care and Ride Safe!
