E-bikes have been banned on the sand in Neptune Beach since 2020, but that may change.
Under a proposal from Police Chief Michael Key, e-bikes would be allowed as long as they’re operated safely and stay under 15 mph.

At a City Council meeting Monday, Key said he’s observed a decrease in reckless riding thanks to police efforts to educate the public.
Jacksonville Beach and Atlantic Beach don’t have bans, and Key believes all three cities should be consistent so people riding down the beach don’t inadvertently break the law.
Council members unanimously supported the change in an initial vote Monday.
