Edina Launches E-Bike Safety Campaign
The City of Edina released a public service announcement promoting e-bike safety and educating residents about local regulations governing electric bicycle use.
The "Own The Road" campaign emphasizes key safety requirements, including the city's minimum age restriction of 15 years for e-bike riders. The announcement also highlights that helmets are mandatory for all riders under 18 years old.
The safety message outlines proper riding etiquette, instructing e-bike users to stay in designated bike lanes or ride on the side of streets, follow all traffic signs, and signal stops and turns. The campaign stresses the importance of maintaining controlled speeds and being aware of surroundings.
The PSA encourages riders to alert pedestrians and other cyclists of their approach using bells or verbal warnings, slow down when passing others, and demonstrate courtesy while sharing public spaces.
The initiative concludes with the message "We ride better together," reflecting the city's emphasis on community cooperation and shared responsibility for public safety.
