PALM COAST, Fla. – Palm Coast e-bike riders may soon face new, stricter rules. This week, the Flagler County sheriff presented a proposed ordinance to the Palm Coast City Council that could change how e-bikes are used in the city.

The new rules would ban e-bike use for anyone under 13 years old. They would also limit speeds to 10 mph on most sidewalks and prohibit riders from wearing AirPods or headphones while riding.

“I see them going way too fast and often when they come up to crosswalks, I don’t see them stopping half the time,” Palm Coast resident Eric said.
