REMINDER

E-Bike and bicycle operators are required by New Jersey traffic law to obey all traffic signals and signs. Riders must travel on the correct side of the roadway, with the flow of traffic, and are prohibited from riding on sidewalks. Additionally, all operators under the age of 17 are required to wear a helmet.

Chief Baumann and the members of the Freehold Township Police Department remain committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our community. Recently, officers have encountered illegal electric motorcycles being operated on local roadways and in township parks—many by juveniles who may not fully understand the risks these vehicles pose.

Parents are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the applicable laws and to speak with their children about safe and legal riding practices. Please be advised: illegal electric/gas powered bikes or motorcycles operated within Freehold Township will be impounded and the drivers will be ticketed with mandatory court dates.

For more details, please see the attached guide outlining what is legal in New Jersey, as well as the required equipment and licensing.
