\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSacramento County park rangers are cracking down on e-bike violations along the American River Parkway. Rangers and California Highway Patrol officers focused their enforcement efforts on the American River multi-use trail between Watt Avenue and Chase Drive. During the operation, rangers issued seven citations and towed four vehicles. They said several riders were traveling 30 miles per hour in a 15 mile per hour zone. Rangers also caught several e-bikes that were, by definition, e-motorcycles, meaning they require a license and registration. Starting June 19, rangers will be allowed to pursue misdemeanor charges for certain violations.”These enforcement efforts are about more than issuing citations,” parks ranger commander Trevor Schnitzius said in a statement. “Our goal is to address the public’s concerns regarding unsafe e-bike and e-motorcycle activity, improve safety for everyone who uses the trail and educate riders about the rules that are in place to protect all visitors.” See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
