What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Sanibel City Council directed staff to develop an ordinance for electric bicycles, which includes implementing a registration program for Class Two and Three e-bikes. The council voted to require registration for these classes for all ad valorem property taxpayers, island employees, and Sanibel residents, though no registration fee will be charged. The program will not allow non-residents or rental purposes for Class Two and Three e-bikes.
