I am an ebike enthusiast who relies on my bike for daily commutes to work. Recently, I was informed that riding my ebike on the streets of Brentwood Borough could result in fines up to $1000, along with additional fees. This alarming and restrictive policy dramatically impacts my ability to travel efficiently and economically around town.

The current laws in Brentwood Borough prohibit the use of ebikes on streets and roads, a policy that significantly limits the freedom and convenience that ebikes provide. Ebikes are a sustainable, eco-friendly mode of transportation widely embraced around the world. Moreover, they offer a viable solution to reduce car usage and the subsequent environmental impact. Many cities and towns are adopting measures to promote, rather than restrict, the use of ebikes.

In Brentwood Borough, the existing ebike regulations should be re-evaluated. It is time to allow those aged 17 and above to legally ride ebikes, adhering to local traffic laws similar to other cyclists. This change could promote safe usage while encouraging environmentally friendly travel.

Proposing these changes fosters inclusivity for every responsible rider, benefiting both the local community and the environment. Let's advocate for practical laws that align with modern transportation needs and provide riders like myself the opportunity to travel without fear of hefty fines.

Sign this petition to support the proposal for modifying ebike regulations in Brentwood Borough to be inclusive of all who ride safely and respectfully.
