DELTONA, Fla. – An ordinance recently enacted in Deltona that would have prohibited individuals under the age of 18 from operating electric bicycles (e-bikes) will not be enforced, according to an announcement from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office stated that the ordinance, which was set to restrict e-bike use for minors, will not be put into effect. No specific reasons for the non-enforcement were provided in the announcement.
The ordinance’s intended purpose was to address concerns related to the operation of e-bikes by younger riders. However, with the decision not to enforce it, the status quo for e-bike usage among minors in Deltona will continue.
