E-moto or E-bike? What parents need to know

[Karen Story]

We've all been seeing more e-motos around our neighborhood. Parents: did you know that your child must be 16+ with an endorsed license to ride an electric motorcycle? 

What are the rules, and how do you tell the difference between an e-bike and an e-moto? The following is excerpted from the City's E-bike/E-moto website:

• It’s illegal to ride an electric motorcycle on the roadway without the required registration, licensing, and insurance.
• They may not be ridden on the CKC.
• Riders must have a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement.
