Skokie just hit pause on electric rides.
After a unanimous board vote, e-bikes and e-scooters are now off-limits on every district trail—except for ADA access.
Officials say speed and safety tipped the scales, echoing national data that shows injuries climbing fast.
You can still pedal in on your own power or park your e-bike at the gate, but once inside it’s human-powered only.
Do you think more Chicago-area parks should follow Skokie’s lead or is there room to share the path?
