[0:01] Ebikes are a fun, exciting way to get [0:03] outdoors, get to work, and enjoy the [0:06] Woodbury Trails and Park System. [0:10] We are seeing more ebikes on our trails [0:12] and streets, which is why it's important [0:13] to know the rules. In Minnesota, you [0:16] have to be 15 years old to ride an [0:18] ebike, and we encourage everyone to wear [0:20] a helmet. [0:23] Only pedal assist ebikes are allowed on [0:26] park trails, but keep your speed under [0:27] control at all times and be respectful [0:29] of other users. [0:30] On your left, [0:31] pass on their left and let others know [0:33] you're approaching with a verbal cue or [0:35] a ring of a bell. Making eye contact [0:37] before passing is also helpful. On city [0:40] streets, ride on the right side of the [0:42] road, obey traffic signs, and signal [0:44] your turns and stops to others. Licensed [0:47] e-otos, motorized bicycles, and electric [0:49] scooters are not allowed on city trails [0:52] and sidewalks. In many cases, you can [0:54] ride them on the street and know the [0:56] laws before you go out. Ride safe, [0:58] control your speed, respect other trail [1:00] users so we can all enjoy the 180 m of [1:04] park trails that Woodbury has to offer. [1:07] Ride safe and smart. Know the rules and [1:10] share the trails.
