I'm excited to share that we will be hosting another household bulky item and paper shredding event in partnership with Waste Management on September 28.

Electric Bicycles

The City of Murrieta recently adopted an ordinance to address public safety concerns surrounding the recent increase in electric bicycle usage.

The new city ordinance talks a lot about E-conveyance devices. What is that? E-conveyance device is the umbrella term that includes e-bicycles, e-scooters, and e-skateboards.

What constitutes each device as being an ‘e-device’?

• E-bikes are defined as bicycles that are equipped with fully operable pedals AND an electric motor of less than 750 watts.
• E-scooters are defined as two or three-wheeled devices with handlebars, a floorboard designed to be stood on, and an electric motor. Some scooters may also have a seat that doesn’t interfere with the rider’s ability to stand while riding.
• E-skateboards are defined as four-wheel devices that have a floorboard that is designed to be stood on when riding and is propelled by an electric motor.
