Class II e-Bikes are not allowed in SLBC rides


Dear Sumter Landing Bicycle Club Members,

After multiple conversations with our insurance carrier, and seeking advice from an attorney, who is familiar with Class II e-Bikes, our Board of Directors and I have concluded that the only course that we can take is to prohibit Class II e-Bikes from riding in our club rides. We even discussed disabling and removing the throttle from the Class II e-Bike with our insurance carrier, and they said that was not an acceptable solution. I apologize to our Class II e-Bike owners who are affected by this policy.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please email me at president@slbikeclub.org

Sincerely,

Bill Parker
President, Sumter Landing Bicycle Club
