OCOEE, Fla. \u2013 On Tuesday night, the city of Ocoee voted unanimously to set a new speed limit and other rules for e-bikes, e-scooters, and other micromobility devices.<\/p>\n
The ordinance approved Tuesday sets a 10 mph speed limit on sidewalks for the devices. <\/p>\n
Other rules include no riding on the grass and no stunt riding. The ordinance also allows the city manager to ban the e-bikes in certain areas when necessary for public safety, like during special events.<\/p>\n
The rules follow similar ordinances passed in local governments all over Central Florida, like in Palm Coast, DeLand and Satellite Beach.<\/p>\n
Several counties are also talking about similar ordinances, like in Orange County.<\/p>\n
The Florida Legislature tried to pass a similar speed limit for e-bikes<\/a> in the annual session earlier this year. But Gov. DeSantis vetoed that bill<\/a>, saying it would \u201clikely lead to enhanced surveillance by local governments against citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n The city of Ocoee\u2019s new rules take effect immediately.<\/p>\n Breaking News Alerts<\/p>\n Get breaking news alerts delivered to your inbox.<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OCOEE, Fla. \u2013 On Tuesday night, the city of Ocoee voted unanimously to set a new speed limit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[1171,66342,2161,7820,1335,139,141,140,729],"class_list":["post-333080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-e-bikes","tag-e-scooters","tag-government","tag-ocoee","tag-orange-county","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-traffic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
