E-Bike Safety & Wisconsin Law Reminder: Know the Difference Before You Ride

**Official Information from the City of Marshfield**

Electric bikes are becoming more common in Marshfield, but not every electric-powered two-wheeled vehicle is legally classified as an e-bike in Wisconsin. State law recognizes three classes of e-bikes, each with specific speed limits and operating requirements.

Electric dirt bikes and other off-highway vehicles are subject to different laws and generally are not permitted on public streets, sidewalks, trails, or parks. Before you ride, take a moment to understand the differences, follow the rules of the road, wear a helmet, yield to pedestrians, and ride responsibly.

Knowing the law helps keep everyone safe while enjoying Marshfield's streets and trails
