United States Electric Bicycle Law
Electric Bicycle Regulations
Federal law says that an electrically driven bicycle is considered a "bicycle" and the laws of bicycles apply if:
- Electrically driven bicycle has less than 750 watt motor
- Functional pedals
- Max speed is less than 20mph
The Federal law shall supersede any State law or requirement with respect to low-speed
electric bicycles. (The state must regulate the electric bicycle as a bicycle)
