Harrisburg has rolled out a new ordinance that expands the use of electric bicycles on city streets, taking effect this Wednesday. The measure, which follows a growing push for greener transportation options, allows e‑bikes to travel on bike lanes and certain sidewalks, provided they meet speed and power limits set by the city. City officials say the rule aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, and encourage healthier commuting habits among residents. The ordinance also includes safety provisions, such as mandatory helmet use for riders under 18 and requirements for e‑bikes to display a specific identification sticker.
