BACKGROUND: 

The Clark County Code currently lacks regulations governing the use of electric bicycles, scooters and motorcycles, leading to enforcement challenges and public safety concerns.

On March 4, 2025, the Clark County Board of County Commissioners directed staff to amend the Clark County Code to address the use of electric bicycles, scooters and motorcycles within Clark County.
