Electric Bicycle Laws

The U.S. Senate passed SR 1156, defining electric bicycles in the country. Then President, George W. Bush signed the law and is in full effect at the moment. The SR 1156 bill states that the Consumer Product Safety Commission is the one in control of electric bicycle. Electric bicycle is defined as a bicycle if this one has with pedals, able to being propelled by those pedals, with an electric motor of no more than 750 watts, and a top speed of 20 mph. If your electric bicycle falls into the category of a bicycle then, you do not need a registration, license or insurance.

Motorized bicycles may be operated upon roadways, except as provided in this section, and in bicycle lanes included within such roadways. Insurance is not required. Registration is $5.25 for three years.

Connecticut:

Regulations[29] appear to deal with Bicycles with helper motors. No person shall ride a bicycle with a helper motor unless that person holds a valid motor vehicle operator’s license. No person shall operate a bicycle with a helper motor at a rate of speed exceeding 30 miles per hour; nor shall any bicycle with a helper motor be operated on any sidewalk, limited access highway or turnpike. Driver’s license is required except if a special permit is obtained by havnig a doctor fill out a certificate and shows they are able to drive the bike with and without the motor assisting.

Bicycle includes all vehicles propelled by the person riding the same by foot or hand power or a helper motor; and (3) “helper motor” means a motor having a capacity of less than 50 cubic centimeters piston displacement, rated not more than two brake horsepower, capable of a maximum speed of no more than 30 miles per hour and equipped with automatic transmission. Local jurisdictions can pass law at variance with the state law.

Delaware: We have contacted the State of Delaware in order to receive information. Waiting on a response.

Florida:
BICYCLE–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.

Georgia:
(15.5) “Electric assisted bicycle” means a device with two or three wheels which has a saddle and fully operative pedals for human propulsion and also has an electric motor. For such a device to be considered an electric assisted bicycle, it shall meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Section 571, et seq., and shall operate in such a manner that the electric motor disengages or ceases to function when the brakes are applied. The electric motor in an electric assisted bicycle shall:

(A) Have a power output of not more than 1,000 watts;
(B) Be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground; and

(b) Two (2) wheels or three (3) wheels with no pedals, which is powered solely by electrical energy, has an automatic transmission, a motor which produces less than two (2) gross brake horsepower, is capable of propelling the device at a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on level ground and as originally manufactured, meets federal motor vehicle safety standards for motor-driven cycles. A moped is not required to be titled and no motorcycle endorsement is required for its operator.

Illinois:

Illinois law does not make any concessions for bicycles equipped with motors. Once the bicycle is no longer human powered, it no longer fits the definition of a bicycle. It actually becomes a motor vehicle and is subject to licensing and registration. Usually we find the vehicle is not able to be registered and the owner is not able to legally ride it on the street or sidewalk. In addition to state laws, municipalities may have city ordinances prohibiting the use of motorized bicycles. Please contact me if you have additional questions.

Indiana:

(d) “Motor vehicle,” for purposes of IC 9-30-10, does not include a motorized bicycle.

The electric-assisted bicycle's electric motor must have a power output of no more than 1,000 watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground and incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device beyond 20 miles per hour.

8-1592b. Electric-assisted bicycles; traffic law application; no registration or driver's license required.

Vehicle registration and driver's license shall not be required for operation of an electric-assisted bicycle. Traffic regulations applicable to bicycles shall apply to electric-assisted bicycles, except tricycles with no brake horsepower.

Kentucky:
In Kentucky, electric bicycles are considered mopeds. A ‘moped’ is defined as having: “No more than two (2) brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission not requiring clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged, and capable of a maximum speed of not more than thirty (30) miles per hour.” KRS 189.285. If not sure about the vehicle, contact the County Clerk’s office to find out if the vehicle needs to be licensed.

First time applicants for a moped license that do not have either an operator or motorcycle license must complete a driver license application. They will only be required to complete the general knowledge and vision tests—neither a skills test nor permit is required. Upon successful completion of the required tests, a license can be issued. Applicants who already have any form of valid motor vehicle operator’s license or permit (Class D, M or a CDL) do not have to apply for a moped license.

Louisiana:
MOTOR DRIVEN CYCLE – R.S. 32:1(39) defines as every motorcycle, including every motor scooter, with a motor not to exceed five horsepower.

MOTORIZED BICYCLE – R.S. 32:1(41) defines as “a pedal bicycle which may be propelled by human power or helper motor, or by both, with a motor rated no more than one and one-half brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and which produces a maximum design speed of no more than 25 miles per hour on a flat surface.”

REGISTRATION OF VEHICLE – R.S. 47:501 requires every owner of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer, or other vehicle intended to be operated upon the public highways in this state to register the vehicle before driving.

* A municipality may make other provisions for the location of motorized bicycle/tricycle traffic.
* Operator of a motorized bicycle/tricycle must obey all other traffic laws.

Maryland:

“Electric-assisted bicycle” means a bicycle with two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operative pedals for human propulsion, and an electric motor. The electric-assisted bicycle’s electric motor must have a power output of no more than 1,000 watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground and incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device beyond 20 miles per hour.

Massachusetts:

As long as the electric bicycles conform with the specifications for electric bicycles in U.S. Public Law 107-319 they may be operated in Massachusetts anywhere a bicycle may be operated. The rider does not need a license or learner’s permit to operate one. Operators 16 years of age or younger must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.

Michigan:
Electric bicycles are considered mopeds in the State of Michigan. Registration is required for a fee of $15.00 for three years. An operator’s license or a moped operator’s license is required. A title is not required. Mopeds are exempt from the requirement for motor vehicle insurance.

Minnesota:
Motorized bicycles, including electric-assisted bicycles, must be registered and licensed at an annual tax of $6.00. No title is required. They may be operated on streets and roadways if registered, but the operator needs either a driver’s license or a motorized bicycle operator permit.

Mississippi: We have contacted the State of Mississippi in order to receive information. Waiting on a response.

Missouri:

A motorized bicycle does not have to be registered with the Missouri Department of Revenue. However, you must have a valid driver’s license (though no motorcycle endorsement is required).

Missouri statute does not require a helmet to be worn when operating a motorized bicycle. Please contact your local law enforcement agencies for any county/municipal codes that deal with helmets and motorized bicycles.

Keep in mind that no motorized bicycle may be operated on any public thoroughfare located within this state that has been designated as part of the federal interstate highway system.

Montana:

Motorized bicycles in Montana are exempt from the motor vehicle statute. They can be ridden as any other bike with no license or registration requirement.

Nebraska:
In Nebraska, electric bicycles are considered mopeds. The following regulations apply.

§60-637: A moped is defined as a bicycle with fully operative pedals for propulsion by human power, an automatic transmission and a motor not exceeding 50 cc that produces no more than two brake horsepower at a maximum design speed of no more than 30 miles per hour.

Mopeds are exempt from titling and registration. They can be operated on public roads as long as the operator complies with the laws regarding mopeds and the pedals are not removed. The laws regarding the operation of mopeds are §60,6,309 thru §60-6,313. While mopeds are exempt from titling and registering, if at any time the pedals are removed the vehicle becomes an off-road vehicle restricted to operation on private property. A Class O or Learner’s permit is required.

Nevada:

“A moped is a vehicle which looks and handles essentially like a bicycle and is propelled by a small engine which produces not more than 2 gross brake horsepower, has a displacement of not more than 50 cubic centimeters and is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on a flat surface with not more than one percent grade in any direction when the motor is engaged.” (NRS 486.038)

“Any motorized vehicle which does not have the normal safety equipment such as lights and mirrors or is not built to federal vehicle standards is an off-highway vehicle and is restricted to off-road use only. This includes all-terrain vehicles, pocket bikes, motorized scooters and snowmobiles. There are no driver license or minimum age requirements for off-highway vehicles. City and county governments may designate small portions of public streets for access to or from off-road areas only.” (NRS Chapter 490)

A Class C license (or higher) is required for the operation of a moped or “motorized bicycle” on public streets. Mopeds do not require insurance or registration. Mopeds must have the same safety equipment (lights, mirrors, etc.) as a motorcycle in order to be driven on any public street. Other vehicles with a small engine are considered off-road motor vehicles and may not be operated on public streets. [6]

New Hampshire:

New Jersey:

An electric bicycle is classified as an “Electric personal assistive mobility device” in New Jersey, defined as “a self-balancing, non-tandem, two wheeled device, designed to transport one person which uses an electric propulsion system with average power of 750 watts (one horsepower), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a propulsion system while operated by a person weighing 170 pounds is less than 20 miles per hour.” Operators must obey all bicycle regulations, and be above 15 years of age or have a mobility-related disability.[34]

Motorized tricycles are not legal on public roadways and sidewalks in New Jersey,[35] and motorized scooters are only permitted for riders with mobility-related disabilities.[36]

New Mexico:

New York:

Electric motor assisted bicycles have been banned in the State of New York and are not permitted for on-road use.[12]

The New York State DMV's “Frequently Asked Questions” website states:

“Motor-assisted Bicycle – a bicycle to which a small motor is attached. A motor-assisted bicycle does not qualify for a registration as a motorcycle, moped or ATV and does not have the same equipment.”

It continues, “These devices are not allowed on any street, highway, parking lot, sidewalk or other area that allows public motor vehicle traffic. You are subject to arrest if you operate one of these motorized vehicles and do not have a registration, driver’s license, inspection, insurance or correct equipment. The DMV cannot provide any information about operation of these devices on private property. Contact the local authorities and property owners.”

North Carolina:

North Dakota:

“Motorized bicycle” means a vehicle equipped with two or three wheels, foot pedals to permit muscular propulsion or footrests for use by the operator, a power source providing up to a maximum of two brake horsepower having a maximum piston or rotor displacement of 3.05 cubic inches [49.98 milliliters] if a combustion engine is used, which will propel the vehicle, unassisted, at a speed not to exceed 30 miles per hour on a level road surface, and a power drive system that functions directly or automatically only, not requiring clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged, and the vehicle may not have a width greater than 32 inches.

A motorized bicycle must be inspected, registered, and insured to be driven on public roadways in North Dakota.

Ohio:
1. No person may operate a motorized bicycle (moped) on any public roadway or private property used by the public unless the person:

* Is 14 years of age or older and has obtained an Ohio motorized bicycle operator's license.
* Holds a valid Ohio driver’s license or motorcycle license.
* No person whose license is under suspension is eligible to apply for a motorized bicycle operator’s license.

Oklahoma:

Every bicycle with two or three wheels which has a saddle and fully operative pedals for human propulsion and also has an electric motor. An electric-assisted bicycle shall meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards as set forth in federal regulations and shall operate in a manner such that the electric motor disengages or ceases to function when the brakes are applied. An electric-assisted bicycle motor shall have a power output not to exceed one thousand (1,000) watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground, and be incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more.

Oregon:
(ORS 801.345) An electric assisted bicycle: is designed to be operated on the ground on wheels; has a seat or saddle for use of the rider; is designed to travel with not more than three wheels in contact with the ground; has both fully operative pedals for human propulsion and an electric motor; and is equipped with an electric motor that has a power output of not more than 1,000 watts and is incapable of propelling the vehicle at a speed of greater than 20 miles per hour on level ground.

Pennsylvania:

State law defines a motorized pedalcycle as a motor-driven cycle equipped with operable pedals, a motor rated at no more than 1.5 brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and a maximum design speed of no more than 25 miles per hour.[29] Subchapter J of Publication 45 spells out the vehicle requirements in full. As of 2008 a standard class C license, proof of insurance, and registration (annual fee: $9.00) are required for operation of any motorized pedalcycle in Pennsylvania.

The definition was clearly written with gasoline-powered pedalcycles in mind. The requirement of an automatic transmission is troublesome for those who just want to add an electric-assist motor to a bicycle, for almost all bicycles have transmissions consisting of chains and manually shifted sprockets. The registration form asks for a VIN, making it difficult to register some foreign-made e-bikes. The fine for riding an unregistered electric bike is approximately $160.00 per event as of 2007.

Rhode Island:

(f) “Electric motorized bicycles” means a motorized bicycle which may be propelled by human power or electric motor power, or by both, with an electric motor rated not more than two (S.A.E.) horsepower, which is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 25 miles per hour.

No resident of this state, except those expressly exempted in this chapter, shall drive any motorcycle or motor-driven cycle upon a highway in this state, unless the person shall first obtain a special license as an operator under the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, motorized bicycles and motor scooters with a motor rated not more than four and nine-tenths (4.9) horsepower and not greater than 50 cubic centimeters, which is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour, shall be exempt from the provisions of this section. No person shall be licensed pursuant to this chapter unless he or she shall be at least 16 years of age or unless the person previously has been issued a full operator’s license and a motorcycle learner’s permit or is already licensed under a prior act of this state. Any person under the age of 18 duly licensed under the prior act shall be eligible to have his or her license renewed in the same manner as persons over the age of 18. All licenses issued pursuant to this chapter shall reflect any requirement of the operator to wear a helmet pursuant to § 31-10.1-4.

South Carolina:

Tennessee:

It appears Tennessee has not passed any legislation that applies to electric bicycles. Some people think the laws pertaining to a Motorized Bicycle should be used for an electric bicycle. However, a Motorized bicycle would be a gasoline powered device per state law as it is defined as “means a vehicle with two or three wheels, an automatic transmission, and a motor with a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters (50cc) which produces no more than two brake horsepower and is capable of propelling the vehicle at a maximum design speed of no more than 30 miles per hour on level ground.”

Motorized Bicycle: The motorized bicycle does not have to be registered nor does a certificate of title need to be obtained. An owner may register the vehicle under regulations issued by the Commissioner of Safety. No endorsement is required on a driver’s license in order to operate a motorized bicycle, thus the motorized bicycle may be operated by anyone with a valid driver’s license. Goggles, windshields and other special equipment required for motorcycles and motor-driver cycles are not required for operation of a motorized bicycle. However, crash helmets are required regardless of operator’s age. Minors between the ages of 14 and 16 may apply for a restricted license to operate a motorized bicycle, just as they would to operate a motor-driver cycle. For instance, they must take a written test, vision tests and demonstrate their ability to operate the motorized bicycle. The license issued will be restricted to a motorized bicycle only. The license is valid only during daylight hours and within a seven-mile (11 km) radius of the driver’s home. Applicants for any type of license less than 18 years old, must complete a Minor/Teen-age Affidavit and Cancellation form making the parent or legal guardian financially liable for the applicants action.

Texas:

(2) “Bicycle” means a device that a person may ride and that is propelled by human power and has two tandem wheels at least one of which is more than 14 inches in diameter. The following definition of electric bicycle was passed by the Texas legislature in 2001:
(24) “Electric bicycle” means a bicycle that:
(A) is designed to be propelled by an electric motor, exclusively or in combination with the application of human power;
(B) cannot attain a speed of more than 20 miles per hour without the application of human power; and
(C) does not exceed a weight of 100 pounds.

Utah:

(10) “Electric assisted bicycle” means a moped with an electric motor with a power output of not more than 1,000 watts, which is not capable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground, and which is not capable of increasing the speed of the device when human power is used to propel the device at more than 20 miles per hour.

“Moped” means a motor-driven cycle having both pedals to permit propulsion by human power, and a motor which produces not more than two brake horsepower and which is not capable of propelling the cycle at a speed in excess of 30 miles per hour on level ground. If an internal combustion engine is used, the displacement may not exceed 50 cubic centimeters and the moped shall have a power drive system that functions directly or automatically without clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged. A moped includes an electric assisted bicycle and a motor assisted scooter.

Vermont:
LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN #03-06 issued on April 8, 2003 emphatically states that “anyone riding a low speed electric bicycle would be afforded the same rights and responsibilities of any bicyclists.”

Virginia:

“Electric power-assisted bicycle” means a vehicle that travels on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and is equipped with (i) pedals that allow propulsion by human power and (ii) an electric motor with an input of no more than 1,000 watts that reduces the pedal effort required of the rider. Operators must be at least 14 years old or be under the supervision of someone at least 18 years old. An electric power-assisted bicycle shall be considered a vehicle when operated on a highway.

Washington:

“Electric-assisted bicycle” means a bicycle with two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operative pedals for human propulsion, and an electric motor. The electric-assisted bicycle’s electric motor must have a power output of no more than 1,000 watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground, and be incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device beyond 20 miles per hour.

No person may drive either a two-wheeled or a three-wheeled motorcycle, or a motor-driven cycle unless such person has a valid driver’s license specially endorsed by the director to enable the holder to drive such vehicles. No driver’s license is required for operation of an electric-assisted bicycle if the operator is at least 16 years of age. Persons under 16 years of age may not operate an electric-assisted bicycle. Persons operating electric-assisted bicycles shall comply with all laws and regulations related to the use of bicycle helmets. Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may have access to highways of the state to the same extent as bicycles. Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may be operated on a multipurpose trail or bicycle lane, but local jurisdictions may restrict or otherwise limit the access of electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters, and state agencies may regulate the use of motorized foot scooters on facilities and properties under their jurisdiction and control.

Washington DC:

RCW 46.04.169

“Electric-assisted bicycle” means a bicycle with two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operative pedals for human propulsion, and an electric motor. The electric-assisted bicycle’s electric motor must have a power output of no more than 1,000 watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 mph on level ground, and be incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device beyond 20 mph.

No driver’s license is required for operation of an electric-assisted bicycle if the operator is at least 16 years of age. Persons under 16 years of age may not operate an electric-assisted bicycle.
