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

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

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

Kids have no reason to have an electric bike!

Will violators have their rides impounded?

I was in O’Fallon. It was three older kids riding E bikes they probably would’ve got hit if I wasn’t able to swerve in the other lane. I didn’t have a stop sign, but they did. 

Thank you for protecting the Epstein list 🙏🏻 atta boys

If y'all need bike lanes then make it possible because people are going to continue to ride their bike and scooters no matter what. Just learn to share the road. Get Smart About It!!! 💯💯💪❤️‍🔥🏋️😎

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 think they should be able to ride them but when they are on the sidewalk going faster than the cars driving down the road is the issue.

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

OFallon just put out new rules too. A 14 yr old in Florida hit an elderly man on his e bike, killed him and they put the mother in Jail

Land of tons of government regulation and HOA regulation. 

I just seen 2 kids riding on the parkway through traffic like idiots. Surely that is illegal.

What is Wentzville PD going to when these kids wreck into someone’s car, truck or property with no insurance to fix the property. If the city allows it then they are liable for the damage.

Wonder what it will take to get this under control? Hopefully sooner than later and I’d hate for someone to loose their life or take the life of someone. Cause in today’s world anything is possible unfortunately

Wentzville needs to clarify what is an electric bike. Electric bikes are classified as class 1,2 or 3. All 3 classes of electric bike have peddles. It the electric bike does not have peddles then it is an electric motorcycle and should not be allowed on the streets or on the pedestrian sidewalks. The bikes in the picture above are actually electric motorcycles and not electric bikes.

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

See something, say something.
