Easy fix. Require them to have a valid drivers license to use on public roads. In addition, no riding on sidewalks.

What does it matter if it’s a motorized bike or a pedal bike….. a kid can go just as fast or faster on a standard pedal bicycle than a motorized one. A bike is a bike, it’s just up to your child on how they want to ride it.

Can I ask about golf carts?

What a conundrum!! Damned if ya do and Damned if ya don't. 🙄

What's rules and guidelines going to do if it's not enforced? I'll wait! Asking for a friend of a friend. Lol

Wentzville needs an off-road park … then the kids could go ride !

Kids have no reason to have an electric bike!

Thank you for protecting the Epstein list 🙏🏻 atta boys

Will violators have their rides impounded?

Having guidelines are nice, but most don’t abide by them. And if PD doesn’t enforce them it doesn’t do any good which it hasn’t yet

I watched a CHILD no more than 12 years old ride their electric bike straight into oncoming traffic and nearly get hit, in the middle of a busy intersection. He had a smaller child riding on the back too. I think there should be age limits on devices that go over a certain speed. It’s just not safe. I’m all for kiddos having fun and exploring but there’s a safe way to do it.

ADA means I don’t care about your “guidelines” 🤣

Where do the pedestrians walk? We have our children and dogs to protect. These motorized vehicles scare both of them when they are out for a leisurely walk. Keep all motorized vehicles except for an electric wheelchair off the city sidewalks. This will keep everyone one safe. These motorized kid vehicles can be used at specific locations that allow for them example motor cross training places.

Parents think they’re kind da are angels but when the go to get candy n drinks on these bikes and other they run every freaking stop sign in sidewalk And I hope no one gets hit by these kids cause of parents like Jonbob dont care if he Loses everything they have earned cause court rooms will fill n there goes your life earning . Also hope no kids run into sides of cars and trucks when the kids runs stop signs on sidewalk thinking they have right away and someone is in the intersection kids fault n possible deceased or ruined for life cause of his parents putting them On that n no rules

They won't enforce it yet they drive around Wal-mart and Target and run lLicense plates with their license tagger device...go figure

I hope wentzville doesn't become like the neighborhood that I'm in. So many kids flying in ATVs, SxS,dirt bikes,golf carts day and night. No helmets, total disreguard for safety or other people/drivers. My road is literally looking like and sounding like Nascar speedway. I won't mention where I live but I will tell you it is a dangerous and a very annoying situation. Plus the noise levels are off the charts. Good luck wentzville

If the kids don’t want to follow the rules and regulations then hold the parents accountable for their actions and consequences of riding the e-bikes and any or all damages caused by the kids and confiscate their e-bikes

The genie is out of the bottle, now it’s hard to put it back. When this got approved, you knew this was going to happen. This is getting way out of control

I saw multiple kids on the dock at Heartland park that were on dirt bikes, from the the list they should not be on the dock or even in the park. Kids flip you off if you say something to them or cuss you out!

What happen to kids on regular bicycles? Fun, exercise, imagination and adventure? Not tearing through the sidewalks going as fast as they can. Shouldn't the kids at least be trained and tested on something that goes that fast?

The bikes in this picture do not belong on the sidewalk. And yet the ordinance forces them onto it. With the pedestrians. I don’t understand who made this decision.

I personally think is BS i have to have insurance and pay taxes on my motorcycle what’s the difference I also have to follow the rules of the road !!! What I see with people on there E bikes pedal bikes is just crap they should have to have a license,pay for plates and taxes totally BS

Makes you shake your head. People talk about how bad, speeding, running stop signs, cars parked everywhere, and the condition of sidewalks or lack of them entirely, and how unsafe it is to navigate the Wentzville community. Then Wentzville comes up with golf carts on the streets. And pretty much anything with a gas or electric motor is being ridden everywhere. It is impossible to not witness this in downtown Wentzville, probably every subdivision, even businesses on the parkway. Kids are riding in parks, at schools, the busiest intersections in town. Adults are flying around everywhere like punks about to get caught, with their ball caps on backwards and cigarettes hanging out their mouths. We are just a mess. Also. Just wanted to say that I personally love the new stop light at Pearce and Linn, but now people are really speeding on Pearce. I have been surprised how bad it got so quick.

See something, say something.

Stay safe

How about construction zone speed enforcement.... I've seen people go way faster than 55 through Forestell Wentzville area with officer sitting to the side and just let them continue

You're safe in ofallon, if you get pulled over while drunk, or hammered drunk just have the cops call the chief out, he'll give you a big hug and a ride home with your vehicle delivered at no charge plus no charges ever filed.
