The Town of Palm Beach reminds residents and visitors of recently adopted Town ordinances regulating the use of micromobility devices, including e-bikes, electric scooters, and other similar powered devices. As these devices continue to gain popularity, operators must understand the safety requirements designed to protect pedestrians, motorists, and riders.
