What about golf carts?

Keep kids inside on electronics. Got it.

Wentzville Missouri Police Department Electric "minibikes" with no pedals for manual operation are considered dirt bikes/electric motorcycles. Depending on the size/speed, they meet the definition of a motorcycle which forbids them from being driven on sidewalks, are required to be operated by a licensed driver, be registered as a motorcycle, be insured, and have at the minimum front and rear lights. The issue is not only the lack of clear and accurate information being given to residents, but the fact that the rules vary based on what street you're on in some places based on incorporated/unincorporated or crossing of city lines. The County and all municipalities need to be on the same page for this issue across the board to effectively communicate the information and enforcement. This includes holding parents responsible for being informed of the legality of the vehicles their children are riding and when/if they are doing so recklessly.

What are speeds exactly...on class 2 and 3 bikes it doesnt say on guide

Like someone else asked, what about golf carts? Subdivision roads are safe but I see them driving down peine rd with kids aboard and it scares me that on high speed roads they might get hurt.

I've looked at this chart multiple times and still have no idea what my kids bike is categorized as. It's electric, no pedals, goes fast, looks like a dirt bike. Definitely not "mini" .

How about all the ones complaining just get their kid a regular bike and save themselves $500!!! Why do all these young kids need e bikes and high powered bikes anyways?

People complain kids stay on electronics to much but yet they go outside to have fun and their not allowed. If their not causing any harm to anyone or property I don’t understand the big deal

I say we keep all kids in their rooms in front of a glowing screen so they don’t upset any bad drivers or empty sidewalks.

So really, it just says kids have to ride their little motorcycles on the sidewalks. I can’t see how that’s safer for pedestrians.

You listed motorized razors/ mini bikes as electric while this may be occuring , we are also seeing gas powered mini bikes, gas powered bicycles, riding on city and residential streets and sidewalks. (I stand corrected)

Our kid has an electric mini bike, wears a helmet every time.... we have no sidewalks in our neighborhood, except against one main road... so you're saying he can't even ride on our quiet residential road anymore bc we dont have sidewalks? That seems a little nuts... I get some kids are complete a-holes... and those kids should see consequences... but some of these kids, just want to be kids and enjoy their toys and be outside... how is that a bad thing?

How about you fuck off lol

What absolute retard is responsible for this? Must ride pedaled bikes on the street, but not ebikes? But also, ride ebikes with pedals on the street. Where's the logic in this? Are you dipshits aware that a vast portion of neighborhoods in Wentzville don't have sidewalks? Do you also realize the amount of parents in those neighborhoods whom spent hundreds of dollars on ebikes for their kids this past Christmas, as they're the new hot ticket item? And police are already harassing our kids about this new ordinance (it's happened twice to ours in the last week). So now, instead of making Fentanyl arrests, your police force is out in droves harassing 10 year-olds and scaring them into becoming future ACAB teens. Meanwhile, we have grown adults tooling around on actual gas powered minibikes at all hours of the day (and night) with no recourse whatsoever. You all should really take a step back and make solid evaluations before you make arbitrary decisions that affect FAMILIES, not just your own agendas or in the name of "safety", which is actually just your way of generating more revenue in the form of ordinance violations.

You clowns need help this is becoming a joke. Parents are buying bikes for kids with no safety. No nothing when the parents themselves have never put a leg over a motorcycle to ride, but they’re letting their kids do it.
