According to a release from the Village of Howard, despite the repeated requests for e-bike users to ride more responsibly, complaints continue to be ongoing, leading to additional actions needing to be taken.
Village officials say the Howard Police Department, rather than using their time patrolling the streets and addressing the important matters throughout the community, will now conduct special enforcement patrols of children using e-bikes.
Residents have made it clear that reckless operation of e-bikes and electric scooters has gotten out of control throughout the community.

It's important to note that the Howard Municipal Code reportedly requires anyone using an e-bike to have a valid driver's license, operator's license, or instructional permit.
Anyone under 16 years old using an e-bike will have any potential citations issued to their parents or legal guardians.
