New DCCB Ebike Regulation in Place
New Motorized Transportation Regulation Now in Effect
CLARIFICATION: This does not include the paved trail system managed by the Dickinson County Trails Board. This regulation only applies to Conservation Board parks and properties, including Sherwood Forest Park and the paved trails within it (managed by Conservation Board).
—————————————————————————————————
The Dickinson County Conservation Board has approved a new regulation governing motorized transportation devices on all properties it owns, operates or manages.
Under the regulation:
*Ebikes and any motorized vehicles with a throttle or capable of throttle-powered movement are prohibited.
* Pedal-assist electric bicycles without a throttle are permitted, provided the motor assists only while the rider is actively pedaling.
* Traditional human-powered bicycles are permitted.
* Wheelchairs and other mobility devices used by individuals with disabilities are permitted in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
* Emergency, law enforcement and authorized Conservation Board vehicles are exempt.
This regulation applies to all Dickinson County Conservation Board parks and managed properties. Thank you for helping us protect these public spaces and keep them safe for all users.
So, would I be permitted to ride an e-bike on the bike trail that winds through your park at 2317 225th Ave., Milford?
Yes, this only applies to any Dickinson County Conservation Board parks and land, including Sherwood Forest Park. If you are on the paved Dickinson County Trails system, you would have to follow DC Trails’ regulations.
