About the Ordinance 

Updated 10/27/23

The City of Half Moon Bay is currently writing an ordinance about the use of electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards on the City of Half Moon Bays paved multi-use trails. 

•    At the October 17th City Council Meeting, City staff gave an update on the implementations of California State Assembly Bill 1909 and received an updated Council recommendation to allow Class 1-3 e-bikes on the Coastal Trail and look into implementing a general speed limit as well as exploring options for enforcement, and the possibility prohibiting class 3 e-bikes on the coastal Trail. 

•    At the April 4th City Council Meeting, City staff gave a presentation and was directed to write a draft ordinance allowing Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes as well as e-scooters and boards on the Eastside parallel trail and Naomi Patridge Trail, and prohibiting those devices on the City-owned portion of the Coastal Trail.
