The Falls City Police Department has recently received inquiries into the legality of e-bikes and Motor-Driven cycles on public streets by both children and adults. Nebraska State Statute allows for the operation of e-bikes (which have fully operative pedals) on public streets while following the same rules of the road as a bicycle. The Motor-Driven cycles, which include electric motor scooters and electric motorcycles are in most cases classified as a motorcycle or minibike are either not allowed to operate on public streets or may operate on public streets with the proper licensing and registration.
If you have a questions please feel free to contact the Falls City Police Department at (402)245-4422.
