Village officials clarified on Jan. 10 that the Village of Ocean Beach maintains a year-round prohibition on e-bikes, despite Suffolk County's recently passed e-bike rules. Administrator Joseph DiFrancisco told the Board that "the village code does not allow e-bikes at all in the village" and Deputy Mayor Dawn L. Hargraves underscored the point with "Ever."
The remark was presented as a clarification for residents and visitors who may read county-level changes in the press; the Board did not change village code at the meeting and no ordinance or rulemaking action was proposed during the session. The Administrator advised that any public messaging about the rule should reflect the existing village code.
