Bethany Beach, Del. – E-bikes were the main topic at the Bethany Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee’s regular meeting on April 24. The committee raised concerns about their speed and potential dangers, while also exploring ways to address the issue safely. Committee members acknowledged that e-bike regulations vary across the country and suggested that solutions might require a broader approach beyond Bethany Beach. One committee member proposed working on efforts that could have an impact throughout Delaware. Another idea discussed was the possibility of equipping local police departments with e-bikes, allowing officers to engage with young riders in a less intimidating manner.
