HENDERSON (KTNV) — The City of Henderson is taking measures to protect both residents and city parks from e-bike safety concerns with a new ordinance.

Electric motorcycles and motor vehicles with throttles are no longer allowed on public parks and trails.
Residents are still welcome to use other motorized vehicles with pedal assist in these areas.
