Hornell’s newly enacted e‑bike ordinance is already showing measurable results, according to a recent city report. The law, which tightened speed limits, required helmet use for riders under 18 and mandated registration for all electric bicycles, was introduced to curb accidents and improve safety on the town’s streets and bike paths. Early data indicate a drop in e‑bike related crashes and a modest increase in compliance with helmet and registration rules, prompting officials to award the policy a “passing” grade. City leaders say the positive trends justify keeping the measures in place while they continue to monitor long‑term impacts and consider fine‑tuning the regulations.
