ORDINANCE NO. 441
AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE OPERATION OF ELECTRIC-ASSISTED BICYCLES AND MOTORIZED FOOT SCOOTERS, INCORPORATING STATE LAWS AND IMPLEMENTING ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS.
The City Council for the City of Annandale, Minnesota hereby ordains:
SECTION 46.01 PURPOSE.
The city council recognizes the increasing use of electric-assisted bicycles (“e-bikes”) and motorized foot scooters (“e-scooters”) as efficient and eco-friendly modes of transportation and recognizes Minnesota Statutes § 169.011, § 169.222, and § 169.225 govern the operation of e-bikes and e-scooters, granting operators the rights and duties of bicyclists while imposing specific requirements. In order to promote public safety on city streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, and paths, the city council seeks to enforce allowed speeds of 20 miles per hour, consistent with the state limit, for e-scooters and as a prudent restriction for e-bikes within municipal boundaries and recognizes that careless operation of these devices poses risks to operators, pedestrians, and other roadway users, necessitating explicit prohibition and enforcement.
SECTION 46.02 INCORPORATION OF STATE LAWS.
All provisions of Minnesota Statutes § 169.011 (definitions), § 169.222 (operation of bicycles and electric-assisted bicycles), and §169.225 (motorized foot scooters) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Operators of e-bikes and e-scooters within the city shall comply with all applicable state traffic laws, including but not limited to rights and duties equivalent to those of bicyclists, equipment requirements (e.g., lighting, brakes, reflectors), helmet mandates for minors, minimum age restrictions (under 15 years of age for e-bikes; under 12 years of age for e-scooters), prohibitions on passengers (except as allowed under state law), and rules for riding positions (e.g., as near to the right-hand curb as practicable, except when overtaking or avoiding hazards).
The City of Annandale may prohibit or restrict operation on specific sidewalks, bike paths, or trails under their jurisdiction, and such restrictions shall be posted conspicuously.
SECTION 46.03 DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning:
ELECTRIC-ASSISTED BICYCLE (E-BIKE)
As defined in Minnesota Statutes § 169.011, Subd. 27, including Class 1 (pedal-assist up to 20 mph), Class 2 (throttle-assist up to 20 mph), Class 3 (pedal-assist up to 28 mph), and multiple-mode e-bikes, provided they meet state classification requirements.
MOTORIZED BICYCLE (E-MOTO)
High-powered devices often marketed as e-bikes, but which exceed 750W/28 mph limits
MOTORIZED FOOT SCOOTER (E-SCOOTER)
As defined in Minnesota Statutes § 169.011, Subd. 46, a device with handlebars, powered by an electric motor, capable of maximum speed of 15 mph, with no more than two 12-inch or smaller wheels.
CARELESS/RECKLESS OPERATION
Operating an e-bike or e-scooter in a manner that is heedless, without due caution or circumspection, and endangers the life, person, or property of another, or the operator themselves. Examples include but are not limited to: weaving through traffic unsafely, failing to yield to pedestrians, operating at excessive speed in congested areas, or ignoring traffic signals.
SECTION 46.04 SPEED RESTRICTIONS.
(A) Speed restrictions apply regardless of e-bike class under state law.
(B) Speed shall be measured by the device’s speedometer (required on Class 3 e-bikes per state law) or by law enforcement radar or laser/LIDAR. Operators must reduce speed in areas with pedestrians, children, or reduced visibility, and yield to all pedestrians on sidewalks or crosswalks.

SECTION 46.05 PROHIBITION ON CARELESS OPERATION.
(A) No person shall operate an e-bike or e-scooter in a careless manner as defined in Sec. 46.03. Operators must exercise due care at all times, including yielding the right-of-way, signaling turns, and maintaining control to avoid collisions.
(B) In addition to state careless driving provisions under Minnesota Statutes § 169.13, Subd. 21, this ordinance applies specifically to e-bikes and e-scooters. Evidence of careless operation may include operation under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, distracted operation (e.g., using a mobile device), or failure to maintain a safe following distance. This also includes any negligent action that creates an unreasonable risk, including but not limited to, riding against traffic, darting into intersections, swerving in front of vehicles, or performing stunts.
(C) Use of an e-moto is not permitted on sidewalks, bike lanes, and paths within the city and shall constitute careless operation. Licensing and registration are required for operation of e-motos on city streets.
Upon issuance of charging, in addition to any state penalties, the city may impound the device for up to 30 days.
SECTION 46.06 ADDITIONAL LOCAL REGULATIONS.
(A) Helmet Requirement. All operators under 18 years of age must wear properly fitted and fastened protective headgear meeting standards under Minnesota Statutes § 169.225, Subd. 4, or equivalent.
(B) Prohibited Areas. Operation is prohibited on sidewalks in business districts unless posted otherwise. E-scooters are restricted from sidewalks except for direct access to adjacent property.
(C) Shared Devices. Operators of shared e-bike or e-scooter services must park devices in designated zones to avoid impeding pedestrian traffic.
(D) The city administrator or designee may designate additional bike lanes or paths for exclusive e-bike/e-scooter use and post speed advisories.
