OUR POSITION IS AGAINST THE STUDY AND WE URGE THE PARKS COMMISSION TO REJECT IT
The cost to develop the study framework would be $108,000 and could take up to a year.
This would not be the actual study itself, the potential study does not yet have a cost and could take up to 5 years to determine if ebikes pose an environmental issue in OC Parks.
1 Other California jurisdictions have already done work that proves Class 1 e-bikes have the same impact as traditional mountain bikes
2 Class 1 bikes are bicycles are NOT Motorized Vehicles under California or federal law
3 The county ordinance can be updated to define Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes as bicycles without an additional study.
