Council advanced Ordinance 6,355 (definitions and impoundment rules for electric-assisted and motorized bicycles) to a work session after public testimony from e-bike users, a bike retailer and residents; members agreed to wait for Fast Planning recommendations before final action.

Deputy City Attorney Kaylee Stickel told the council that Alaska law and existing Fairbanks code do not clearly classify many electric-assisted bicycles and 'e-motos,' creating enforcement and due-process problems; council members asked staff to draft local ordinance language and to brief state legislators on fixes.
