This Petition is prepared on behalf of Class II EBike owners that cannot attend the April Board of Supervisor’s meeting to voice their concern for having continued access to Orange County bike paths and trails. During this time of creating new rules and regulations for our safety, we provide you with a brief list of reasons why our Class II EBikes are beneficial to us and our Community. The majority of EBike owners are baby boomers and use the EBikes to go longer distances, go up hills, use for physical and mental therapy, as well as social gatherings. Many of us go on group rides on the weekends to restaurants, parks, beaches, etc. This cuts down on traffic, parking issues, pollution, costs and all the stresses of driving a car. If it wasn’t for the EBike, there are a portion of people who would never get outside and enjoy life the way they do now. The bikes only go 20 miles an hour maximum and everyone rides with extreme caution and safety. We, the undersigned, Petition continued access for Class II EBikes to the Orange County bike paths and trails which provides us safety and enjoyment of our beautiful Community.

If you want to join in the movement to have continued access to these bike paths, we have made it easy for you to assist in the process. You can:

1) Sign the Petition

2) Write a letter regarding the importance of your Pedego. You can use the template below.

3) Appear at the Board of Supervisor's Meeting to give a 3-minute statement

The date has not yet been set for the meeting so we will keep you posted as soon as we get that information.
