Number two 977 e bikes and E motorcycle code 398 00:41:39,967 --> 00:41:43,367 Amendment I will now call on lieutenant Justin Gregson 399 00:41:51,023 --> 00:42:00,744 Good evening mayor and city council tonight. I'm going to be presenting on ordinance 2977, which is our electric bicycle and e-motorcycle ordinance 400 00:42:03,023 --> 00:42:06,583 The goal for this ordinance is pretty straightforward. We're looking for clear 401 00:42:07,184 --> 00:42:10,304 Classification safer operation and consistent enforcement 402 00:42:11,344 --> 00:42:14,224 We want to able to protect protect protest 403 00:42:15,103 --> 00:42:18,143 pedestrians and other users of street sidewalks parks and trails 404 00:42:21,391 --> 00:42:24,092 So the ordinance responds to three related issues. 405 00:42:24,092 --> 00:42:26,891 First is the growth of these devices. 406 00:42:26,891 --> 00:42:28,251 Drive down any street in Sumner 407 00:42:28,251 --> 00:42:32,052 and you're gonna see all sorts of electric devices, 408 00:42:32,052 --> 00:42:34,052 e-bikes, e motorcycles, scooters. 409 00:42:34,931 --> 00:42:37,972 The second issue is safety. 410 00:42:37,972 --> 00:42:40,692 The ordinance cites some numbers 411 00:42:40,692 --> 00:42:44,251 from some medical encounters at UW facilities. 412 00:42:44,251 --> 00:42:46,411 In 2020, they only had three. 413 00:42:46,304 --> 00:42:52,864 e-scooter related medical encounters and that rose all the way to 151 in 2023 and of those people 414 00:42:52,864 --> 00:42:58,224 that were involved in the incidents they reported very low helmet use at only about 18 percent. 415 00:42:59,264 --> 00:43:05,184 Third, the state law draws a line at 750 watts and creates three different ebike categories 416 00:43:06,704 --> 00:43:10,943 but that's kind of broad terms for what we actually see on the street. There's a lot of different 417 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:23,079 So other cities are doing this too. They're coming up with their own e-bike and e motorcycle laws. We're not unique in that fact. 418 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:31,199 Bellevue decided to look at the different classes of bikes 1, 2, and 3 and they said class 1 and 2 generally follow bicycle rules 419 00:43:31,199 --> 00:43:36,800 Whereas class 3 in motorcycles they kind of grouped together. Mercer Island they came out 420 00:43:37,056 --> 00:43:42,576 very early in this and they adopted a bunch of e-motorcycle rules and came up with some 421 00:43:42,576 --> 00:43:48,655 stiff penalties for motorcycles including impoundment and then they said eBikes will come up 422 00:43:48,655 --> 00:43:55,215 with that later on. So why now? We're looking at this as a trend-driven issue. This isn't just 423 00:43:55,215 --> 00:43:59,615 one local triggering event. It's because of the growth and the regional injury data that the 424 00:44:06,304 --> 00:44:11,503 as simple as I can with the variety of devices that are out there. I also have a slide with some 425 00:44:11,503 --> 00:44:17,903 photos I'll try to give you guys a better representation of what these are. So this ordinance breaks 426 00:44:17,903 --> 00:44:21,664 it into basically three categories. We have our bicycle which is all your typical bicycles 427 00:44:21,664 --> 00:44:28,063 in class one e-bikes. Those are your lower speed pedal assisted bikes. They're treated just like 428 00:44:34,255 --> 00:44:39,695 Then the ordinance created this new term the MTD or motorized transportation device 429 00:44:39,695 --> 00:44:44,755 And what that does is that captures everything kind of in the middle. So that's got your class 2 class 3 430 00:44:45,295 --> 00:44:48,655 It's gotten motorize foot scooters and all these similar devices 431 00:44:49,735 --> 00:44:51,735 And puts them in a category 432 00:44:51,735 --> 00:44:53,735 Then there's the e-motorcycle 433 00:44:54,016 --> 00:45:02,056 Which is your higher powered over 750 watts can go over 250 mile or sorry over 20 miles an hour and has no operable pedals 434 00:45:03,344 --> 00:45:08,264 So here's some photos, the hard thing about using photos is they can look like anything. 435 00:45:08,264 --> 00:45:13,264 So they aren't defined by their, just how they look. 436 00:45:13,264 --> 00:45:14,983 So these are kind of representative images. 437 00:45:14,983 --> 00:45:18,623 So you'll notice the class one, two, and three all look very similar. 438 00:45:18,623 --> 00:45:22,503 There's mainly in how the function is kind the differences. 439 00:45:22,503 --> 00:45:26,664 And they are required to have a little placard on the frame of the bike that tells what it 440 00:45:26,664 --> 00:45:27,903 is. 441 00:45:27,903 --> 00:45:31,364 So the Class 1 bike on top left, that's going to fall under the 442 00:45:32,224 --> 00:45:38,143 the next four images there all fall under the motorized transportation device in this ordinance 443 00:45:38,143 --> 00:45:42,304 and then the outlier is the e-motorcycle it could look sorry kind of like that or like a 444 00:45:43,344 --> 00:45:56,943 you know a dirt bike style and that falls under its own category e motorcycle in the ordinance 445 00:45:51,344 --> 00:45:56,344 So what this ordinance does is it sets practical operating rules for these devices. 446 00:45:56,344 --> 00:46:02,344 So it treats e-motor cycles like motor vehicles, which is how the law recognizes them. 447 00:46:02,344 --> 00:46:06,344 And so to operate a e motorcycle, you have to be licensed. You have 448 00:46:06,344 --> 00:46:08,344 to over 16 years old. 449 00:46:08,344 --> 00:46:12,344 You need to have the vehicle itself licensed with the department of licensing. 450 00:46:12,344 --> 00:46:16,344 You've to wear a motorcycle helmet and you can't ride on sidewalks or pedestrians 451 00:46:16,344 --> 00:46:19,344 just like you wouldn't with a normal motorcycle. 452 00:46:19,007 --> 00:46:22,208 the motorized transportation devices, the MTDs, 453 00:46:22,208 --> 00:46:25,648 you just have to follow the rules of the road. 454 00:46:25,648 --> 00:46:28,288 You can't operate negligently or an unsafe way. You have 455 00:46:28,288 --> 00:46:30,527 to wear a bicycle helmet and you have 456 00:46:30,527 --> 00:46:31,847 to have short handlebars. 457 00:46:31,847 --> 00:46:34,768 You don't have very tall handle bars. 458 00:46:34,768 --> 00:46:38,927 So I'll tell you kind of 459 00:46:38,927 --> 00:46:42,728 giving officers these enforcement tools. Here's two kinds of 460 00:46:43,744 --> 00:46:45,903 typical stops that could happen. 461 00:46:45,903 --> 00:46:48,864 So the one on the left, a juvenile stopped 462 00:46:48,864 --> 00:46:52,264 for some kind of a violation. 463 00:46:52,264 --> 00:46:53,943 The officer would classify the device, 464 00:46:53,943 --> 00:46:55,664 find out what category we're in, 465 00:46:55,664 --> 00:46:58,224 and then confirm if there is a violations. 466 00:46:58,224 --> 00:47:00,423 Then you'd find that if that was the first offense 467 00:47:00,423 --> 00:47:02,423 in the last 365 days. 468 00:47:02,423 --> 00:47:04,543 If it is the 1st, he could give a written notice, 469 00:47:04,543 --> 00:47:07,864 and he also can hold the advice until a guardian claims it, 470 00:47:07,864 --> 00:47:09,503 which is tool that gets the parents involved 471 00:47:09,503 --> 00:47:12,063 in a conversation with the police officers as well. 472 00:47:12,063 --> 00:47:18,344 Instead of just a verbal warning where they can you know go on and go home and don't have to ever tell mom or dad that they were stopped 473 00:47:18,903 --> 00:47:22,824 The second is if this you, know wasn't the the first offense 474 00:47:23,103 --> 00:47:27,824 They can receive a fine up to a hundred dollars and their bike could be impounded for up-to-30 days 475 00:47:29,063 --> 00:47:31,063 The situation on the rights the e-motorcycle 476 00:47:31,664 --> 00:47:35,184 So something like a person riding a e motorcycle without endorsement 477 00:47:35,184 --> 00:47:39,583 They would be stopped by police you verify if it's an e motor cycle with no endorsement 478 00:47:40,032 --> 00:47:44,592 And they can receive a traffic infraction in the first violation, up to $125. 479 00:47:44,592 --> 00:47:47,751 And if they get subsequent ones, it can go up $250. 480 00:47:47,751 --> 00:47:50,112 There's also an impound feature there. 481 00:47:50,112 --> 00:47:52,231 If no, well, they're not legally allowed to write it. 482 00:47:52,231 --> 00:47:55,952 So we have to come up with some kind of a lawful arrangement to remove that bike 483 00:47:55,952 --> 00:47:57,831 or have someone else write. 484 00:47:57,831 --> 00:48:02,351 If we do decide to impOUND, then it could be secured. 485 00:48:02,351 --> 00:48:05,231 And there's a notice or appeal process. 486 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,880 for the juveniles also there's a student court option which will replace some minor penalties. 487 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,920 The impound is discretionary so officers can choose to or not it's just another tool 488 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,920 that happened.
