The Master Association Board unanimously approved the following eBike rules at the March 26, 2025, meeting:
Registration and a decal are required for all classes of eBikes. Registration requires signing a
registration form to obtain the Marsh Landing decal. Decals are available at the Marsh Landing Management Company during normal business hours. eBike owners should complete registration by April 30, 2025. All eBikes must have a decal.
- eBikes may be ridden ONLY in single file on the roadways within Marsh Landing.
- eBikes are prohibited from riding on sidewalks for the safety of other residents walking.
- eBikes are prohibited on golf course paths, including fairways, greens, and all common areas within Marsh Landing.
All eBike entry into Marsh Landing must be through the visitor lane at each gate for residents and visitors.
If a resident (adult or child) eBike does not display the required decal, the officer will require an ID. If an ID is not available, the officer will verify the address via the ABDI system. The officer will make one call to the residence if no ID is available, and if the individual is not in the ABDI system. Resident children should be in the ABDI system as permanent visitors.
For eBike visitors, the officer will require the name and address of where the visitor is going. If the visitor is not in the ABDI system, entry will be denied. This is necessary because we are having eBike groups from outside enter our community.
Reminder cards of our rules and traffic laws will be handed out by the officer as necessary.
Florida law requires:
- Helmets for all riders under the age of 16.
- eBikes cannot carry more than the number of people it is designed to carry. Each rider must have a permanent, regular seat attached to the eBike.
All traffic laws must be followed including:
- Complete stop at all stop signs
- Obeying the 25-mph speed limit
- Use of hand signals for all turns-
Citations may be given for infractions by SJSO. If a juvenile receives a citation, it may delay the issuance of a driver’s permit or license.
Parents, please remind your kids to be responsible and safe when operating an eBike. Obey all traffic signs and laws. We have had several reports of careless behavior and eBikes coming very close to causing serious accidents.
With the increased popularity of eBikes, following the rules and Florida traffic laws are important for everyone’s safety. The Marsh Landing Master Association will continue to review incident reports and will consider a ban on eBikes in the community if necessary.
