E-Bike Info

On October 20, 2025, the Village passed an ordinance regarding the restriction and enforcement of electric bicycles and electric motorbikes or dirt bikes, commonly referred to as e-bikes and e-motos. The board was provided with detailed information from our legal team which follows the State of Illinois’ Compiled Statutes as to not hinder the lawful operation of an e-bike for our residents who use this as their mode of transportation.

If you are thinking of purchasing an e-moto it must comply with the Illinois law of a vehicle registration, insurance, and licensing provision as well as other general traffic regulations meaning that not only do you need a license to operate it but you must also follow additional guidelines.

E-scooters are only to be operated by persons who are at least 18 years of age, and only one rider per scooter according to Illinois traffic laws.
