Signs will soon be posted at Chaparral Park, Mountain View Park, and Scottsdale Ranch Park prohibiting e-bike riding in certain areas. Dedicated e-bike parking spots will also be placed near those no-ride zones.

The move comes after the city already passed an ordinance banning anyone under the age of 16 from riding Class 3 e-bikes and similar high-speed devices.
