The Westmont Village Board recently passed an ordinance regulating e-bikes and motorized scooters.

The goal of the ordinance is to ensure the safety of all residents including pedestrians and motorists. To provide residents with details regarding the new ordinance and e-bike expectations, the Westmont Police Department has scheduled an E-Bikes & Scooters Safety Program for 6:30 p.m. March 25 at the Westmont Police Department, 500 N. Cass Ave.

Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP.

To assist with getting the word out regarding the new ordinance, the village has created a new e-bikes informational webpage at westmont.illinois.gov/e-bikes.

The webpage includes a link to a document that features excerpts from the e-bikes ordinance as well as a helpful e-bikes infographic that features highlights regarding the new ordinance.
