BUILDING & CODES: -Mr. Smith stated that he would answer any questions regarding the monthly reports Commercial permits are tracking as usual. Permits are up on building, and are close in volume to two years ago. Codes has slowed down, probably due to a reduction in grass growing. Councilwoman Smith asked about the schedule for mowing and he said that the abatement crews mow Monday through Friday from 7am until 2:30pm. They have expanded the hours for contraetors this month. They are going paperless on inspections next week. They have had the software for some time and are now starting to use it. Councilwoman Smith asked how long citizens have to comply with codes violations. Mr. Smith said that they give l3 days on grass violations and then it takes three to four days to get to them. Housing code violations are given 30 days and junk cars are given 15 to 20 days. If not comected, violations are taken to City Court. Councilman Hcnley asked about the criteria on high grass and Mr. Smith said l3 inches is a violation. Councilman Richmond met with Animal Control regarding a recent report of a citizen operating a kennel. They do not think she is running a kennel and will conduct monthly visits. They may limit the numbcr of dogs allowable in the future. Councilman Henley asked if September multi-family figures were a record number and Mr. Smith said they processed out more than usual. POLICE DEPARTMENT: -Chief Ansley presented monthly reports and asked for questions He noted there were several businesses cited for beer sales.

Currently, pursuant to state law, liquor and wine may be purchased on Sundays starting at l0:00 a.m. and he would like to see all alcohol sales consistent.

  • Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Vehicle Type
    Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Power sources for hybrid vehicles include: Coal, wood or other solid combustibles Compressed or liquefied natural gas Electricity Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves Electric vehicle battery Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing Hydrogen On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) Petrol or Diesel fuel Solar Wind Vehicle type Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, as power is delivered both via an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototypes of motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principles to power it up. In a parallel hybrid bicycle human and motor power are mechanically coupled at the pedal drive train or at the rear or the front wheel, e.g. using a hub motor, a roller pressing onto a tire, or a connection to a wheel using a transmission element. Human and motor torques are added together. Almost all manufactured Motorized bicycles, Mopeds are of this type. In a series hybrid bicycle (SH) the user powers a generator using the pedals. This is converted into electricity and can be fed directly to the motor giving a chainless bicycle but also to charge a battery. The motor draws power from the battery and must be able to deliver the full mechanical torque required because none is available from the pedals. SH bicycles are commercially available, because they are very simple in theory and manufacturing. The first known prototype and publication of an SH bicycle is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975.

  • Electric Bikes and Scooters Snapshot of State Laws
    Electric Bikes and Scooters Snapshot of State Laws State legislators, including those in Montana, are examining state laws, analyzing the use of electronic bikes (e-bikes), and determining how best, if at all, to regulate their use on public streets and paths. According to the National Conference of State Legislature (NCSL), 33 states and the District of Columbia define e-bikes in law.1 Montana is included in that list. Montana law (61-8-102, MCA) defines e-bikes, or “electrically assisted bicycles” as a bicycle 61-8-602, MCA with two operational pedals with a motor attached propels the bicycle and a rider who weighs Traffic laws applicable to persons operating 170 pounds no faster than 20 miles an hour. Essentially, for the purposes of regulation and bicycles or mopeds. A person operating a bicycle or enforcement, an e-bike is treated as a bicycle. The state does not require license or moped is granted all of the rights and is subject to registration. And e-bikes may be ridden on roadways and bicycle paths. all of the duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle by chapter 7, chapter 9, and this chapter Federal law provides guidance in terms of the manufacturing and sale of e-bikes in the nation. except for special regulations in this part or the Amendments to the Consumer Product Safety Commission passed by Congress in 2002 provide provisions of chapter 7, chapter 9, and this chapter a definition of e-bikes as “A two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an that by their nature cannot apply.

Abstract Throughout the world, the electric bicycle (e-bike) industry is growing very quickly. The North American market has been somewhat slow to adopt this technology, which is still considered to be in the “early adopter” phase (Rose & Dill, 2011; Rose, 2011), but in recent years, this has begun to change. But as e-bike numbers increase, so too will potential conflicts (actual or perceived) with other vehicles and non-motorized devices, bicycles and pedestrians, causing policy questions to arise.

    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: CS/CS/HB 971 Electric Bicycles SPONSOR(S): State Affairs Committee, Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee, Grant, M. TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: CS/SB 1148 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee 12 Y, 0 N, As CS Roth Vickers 2) Transportation & Tourism Appropriations 12 Y, 0 N Hicks Davis Subcommittee 3) State Affairs Committee 21 Y, 0 N, As CS Roth Williamson SUMMARY ANALYSIS In Florida, a bicycle means every vehicle propelled solely by human power, and every motorized bicycle propelled by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed of not more than 20 miles per hour on level ground upon which any person may ride, having two tandem wheels, and including any device generally recognized as a bicycle though equipped with two front or two rear wheels. The term does not include such a vehicle with a seat height of no more than 25 inches from the ground when the seat is adjusted to its highest position or a scooter or similar device. Thus, the term includes both traditional bicycles and motorized or electric bicycles (e-bikes). The bill removes e-bikes from the definition of the term “bicycle” and creates a new definition for e-bikes using a three-tiered classification system. Class 1 e-bikes are bicycles equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph. Class 2 e-bikes are bicycles equipped with a throttle-assisted motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
