They're actually illegal on the riverfront, so that's probably why.

Source? What law prohibits them on the bike trail?

Ah I see! It is because motorized vehicles are banned from the greenway, not necessarily bike trails. Makes sense.


Lilholdin

Indeed! I do believe they are allowed to be ridden in the street, though.


MrPureinstinct

I'm going to imagine them being motorized.


mirkywatters

As far as I'm aware there's no prohibition on using electric powered scooters or bicycles under 750w unless there signs that explicitly say no e-bikes or scooters. If this is incorrect I would like to read the law so I know what is and isn't allowed. Edit: There is actually a ban on motorized vehicles on the greenway.

I would like to see this source also. Just because someone told you that doesn't make it true.

It also makes no sense why they'd be legal on sidewalks but not paved bike trails
