Quarryville Police: Know Pennsylvania E‑Bike and Scooter Laws

Quarryville Police urge riders to follow Pennsylvania rules for e-bikes and scooters and follow basic safety practices.

Published Aug 5, 2026, 7:03 AM EDT | Northampton Crimewatch

Quarryville Borough Police remind riders that e‑bikes are generally allowed wherever traditional bicycles are permitted, but operators must follow the same traffic laws, ride with traffic, and use lights and reflectors after dark. Pennsylvania law is more restrictive for electric scooters—many stand‑up consumer scooters do not meet state vehicle requirements and may be illegal on public roads or sidewalks unless properly registered. Riders should wear helmets, watch for pedestrians and motorists, avoid phone distractions, and contact Quarryville Police or PennDOT with questions.
