Village Votes To Ban Electric Bikes, Scooters In Portions Of Libertyville

LIBERTYVILLE, IL — The Libertyville Village Board recently adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of electric bicycles and electric scooters within the village park system and downtown area.

This means that no one will be able to use or operate low-speed electric bicycles or scooters, as defined by the Illinois Vehicle Code, in any village parks or in the downtown area, according to a post on the Libertyville Police Department Facebook page.

Village employees performing official duties and electric personal assistive mobility devices that are used for accessibility will be allowed, according to village officials.
