Bonita Springs, FL Mobility & Curb Rules: E-Bike Classes (2026)

Sec. 40-65(b) defines "electric bicycle (all classes)" by pointing to the term "electric bicycle" in F.S. § 316.003. The section then regulates every electric mobility device together, and it does not assign different permissions to Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 e-bikes. Under subsection (c)(1), bicycles, electric bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, micromobility devices and motorized scooters are allowed on public sidewalks, crosswalks, intersections, multi-use pathways and designated bicycle paths where the city has traffic control jurisdiction. Electric motorcycles registered under F.S. Ch.

320 are prohibited from sidewalks, crosswalks and multi-use pathways. Under (c)(2), the cap is 15 miles per hour on those surfaces unless otherwise posted. Under (c)(3), a rider or passenger under 16 years of age must wear at least a properly fitted helmet that meets the federal safety standard. Under (c)(4), a white front lamp visible from at least 500 feet and a red rear lamp and reflector visible from 600 feet are required between dusk and dawn. Under (c)(5), a rider on a sidewalk, crosswalk or intersection must yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian, slow to a reasonably safe passing speed, and give an audible signal before overtaking and passing.

The code defines a multi-use path as a physically separated, hard-surfaced or shell or rock trail or path for non-motorized traffic that is wider than a sidewalk. On the road itself, subsection (d)(2) caps speed at the posted or statutory limit. Subsection (e) prohibits these devices on trails, greenways and greenbelts unless otherwise posted, and subsection (f) exempts on-duty law enforcement officers and exempts utility workers from (e) while performing authorized duties.
