New law banning e-bikes from Evesham park trails goes to Township Council for final vote on Wednesday.

A proposed law to keep electric bikes and other motorized vehicles off natural surface trails in the Black Run Preserve and other Evesham parks goes before Township Council Wednesday evening for a public hearing and final adoption.

The meeting begins with an executive session at 6 p.m. followed by the regular meeting at 7 p.m. at the Township building, 984 Tuckerton Road.

Low-speed electric bicycles, low-speed electric scooters or any other motorized vehicles would be banned from the trails, according to the proposed ordinance.

Earlier 70and73.com coverage: Evesham's proposed ban of e-bikes on park trails would help protect Black Run Preserve land, trees and hikers.

During the first reading of the ordinance in November, Council members indicated that additional stricter regulations covering e-bikes and similar vehicles throughout Evesham are planned for 2026.

For now, the law would apply to trails, especially those in the 1,300-acre Black Run Preserve.

"E-bike riders have created a new network of trails, degrading and rutting the soil, while cutting down trees to make those trails," Black Run Preserve founder John Volpa told Council members at the October meeting. "They are a danger to pedestrians on the trail."

If the new law is approved, it would take effect after a public notice is published.
