Scranton Council Moves to Ban E-Bikes From Parks, Downtown Sidewalks
Scranton City Council voted 5-0 to introduce two new ordinances that would ban electric bicycles and other motorized devices from city parks and from sidewalks in business districts, setting fines as high as $600 for violators. The proposal, pitched as a way to keep pedestrians safe, would push e-bikes off trails and onto city streets instead.
