Riding in Avon-by-the-Sea Borough
Monmouth County · 1,933 residents
From the centre of Avon-by-the-Sea Borough, a pedal-assist e-bike legally reaches 100% of the points surveyed on rings 2, 5 and 10 miles out; a low-speed 50cc scooter reaches 70%. When the e-bike is routed to prefer the lowest-speed roads and paths, 60% of those route miles stay on them. Statewide the same three numbers run 98%, 16% and 60%.
Avon-by-the-Sea Borough stands out from its surroundings: on the scooter measure it reaches 70% against a 13% median across the 36 surveyed municipalities whose centres sit within 20 miles of this one. That local gap is why it has a page here.

Ring by ring
The survey drops 12 evenly spaced points on each ring around the town centre and keeps the ones that land near a road. The middle column is how many points that was on the e-bike network — the sample size behind the shares beside it, so a thin ring is visible rather than hidden in an average.
| Ring | On a road | Scooter | E-bike | Quiet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mi out | 8 of 12 | 100% | 100% | 62% |
| 5 mi out | 6 of 12 | 67% | 100% | 65% |
| 10 mi out | 6 of 12 | 0% | 100% | 48% |
Reach counts a point as reached when a legal route exists inside the survey’s horizon and is not wildly indirect. A ring can read lower than the ring outside it — the legal network is fragmented, so distance and reach are not the same question.

Questions about riding in Avon-by-the-Sea Borough
The short versions of what's above, answered from this town's own survey numbers.
- How far can a 50cc scooter ride from Avon-by-the-Sea Borough?
- Of the surveyed points on rings 2, 5 and 10 miles out, a low-speed 50cc scooter can legally reach 70% of the ones that land on a road — against a statewide median of 16%. That is a measure of the legal network's shape around Avon-by-the-Sea Borough, not of distance a scooter can travel: the limit is which roads connect, not the tank.
- Is an e-bike a better way to get around Avon-by-the-Sea Borough?
- By reach, yes: a pedal-assist e-bike reaches 100% of the same points, because it may use paths and the faster roads New Jersey's low-speed-scooter rules keep off. Statewide the median town goes from 16% on a scooter to 98% on an e-bike.
- How quiet are the e-bike routes around Avon-by-the-Sea Borough?
- When the router is told to prefer the lowest-speed roads and paths, 60% of the resulting route miles from Avon-by-the-Sea Borough stay on them, against a statewide median of 60%. It is a low-speed measure of the routing available — never a scenic, road-condition or comfort rating.
- What legal network is Avon-by-the-Sea Borough connected to?
- Avon-by-the-Sea Borough's town centre attaches to a connected component of legal low-speed roads covering 16 municipalities and about 143K people, the 6th largest in the state. New Jersey's legal low-speed network is split into thousands of pieces, so which piece a town sits on decides how far a ride can go without leaving it.
