GPES reminding residents of rules for electric bikes, scooters, and dirt bikes

Sep 29, 2026 | 10:00 AM

Grande Prairie Enforcement Services is reminding residents to know the differences between e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric dirt bikes.

While there is some overlap between the vehicles, there are key differences, and they are subject to different provincial regulations and municipal bylaws.

E-bikes must be equipped with fully operable pedals and are not permitted on sidewalks, while E-scooters are permitted on City trails and pathways, but not on sidewalks or city roads, and electric dirt bikes are only to be used on private property.

Peace officer Sergeant Ryan Hoffman says Grande Prairie’s pathways, trails, and roadways are shared spaces, and responsible operation helps ensure everyone can use them safely.
