MISSOULA – The Missoula City Council will vote on electric bikes and scooters on Monday evening.

The ordinance would allow the use and regulation of dockless bike and scooter sharing systems.

Opponents say e-bike systems can be unorganized, and take away from local bike shop rentals. But others say they help people get around town.

A public hearing will take place before voting which is set for 7 p.m. on Monday in the city council chambers.
