We are Nassau County residents, commuters, and small business owners united against the sudden Class 2 e-bike and e-scooter ban announced by the Nassau County Police Department in March 2026. Our mission is to protect affordable, sustainable, and practical transportation for the thousands of Nassau County residents who depend on these vehicles every day — for work, errands, and the freedom to move through their community. We believe in smart, fair regulation — not outright bans that harm working families, delivery workers, disabled persons, and the environment.

On March 5, 2026, the Nassau County Police Department announced a ban on the use of Class 2 (and Class 3 which already illegal outside NYC) e-bikes and e-scooters county-wide. To justify the ban, Nassau County cites two existing laws: Nassau County Miscellaneous Law Title 61 and New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law Article 34. However, this legal basis for the ban is deeply questionable. The county law cited by police doesn't even contain the word "e-bike" — it was originally passed in 2006 to restrict ATV use.  Officials are incorrectly lumping legal, regulated e-bikes in with illegal e-motos — essentially electric motorcycles that far exceed the speed limits of lawful e-bikes. This overreaching ban threatens the livelihoods of delivery workers, commuters, and everyday residents who rely on these vehicles.  While the ban on Class 2 ebikes and E-Scooters appears illegal, NCPD has stated they can impound your ebike or scooter if they catch you riding it in Nassau County.  Let's make it clear to Nassau that they aren't taking our bikes!
