Hinsdale’s e-Bike ordinance leads to fewer citations, stronger compliance | ChicagoNOW

Hinsdale has been at the forefront of addressing the surge in e-bikes and e-scooters, a trend that has challenged communities across the Chicago region. Back in May 2025, the village moved quickly to pass a new ordinance, step up police enforcement, and launch a series of public education campaigns. Now, just a few months later, new data shows that the proactive approach is paying off — with a steep decline in citations, fewer complaints, and stronger compliance from riders.
