- 'Our residents have had enough': Douglas County sets new regulations for electric dirt bikes
Douglas County commissioners passed an emergency ordinance requiring helmets for riders under 18 and imposing up to $1,000 fines for reckless riding of electric dirt bikes (e-motos). The regulations address public safety concerns highlighted by Sheriff Darren Weekly and residents like Lynne Bussard, who reported dangerous behavior on roads and sidewalks. The ordinance, effective immediately, does not apply to e-bikes with pedals and includes educational efforts with schools.
