Federal Electric Bicycle Law - HR 727

LOW-SPEED ELECTRIC BICYCLES SEC. 38.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, low-speed electric bicycles are consumer products within the meaning of section 3(a)(1) and shall be subject to the Commission regulations published at section 1500.18(a)(12) and part 1512 of title 16, Code of Federal Regulations.

(b) For the purpose of this section, the term `low-speed electric bicycle' means a twoor three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph.

(c) To further protect the safety of consumers who ride low-speed electric bicycles, the Commission may promulgate new or amended requirements applicable to such vehicles as necessary and appropriate. (d) This section shall supersede any State law or requirement with respect to lowspeed electric bicycles to the extent that such State law or requirement is more stringent than the Federal law or requirements referred to in subsection (a).

Electric Bicycle Laws

The U.S. Senate has passed SR 1156, defining electric bicycles in the country. President, George W. Bush has 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.

State Electric Bicycle and Scooter Laws

The laws and regulations that govern the operation of motorized scooters, electric bikes and pocket bikes vary from state to state. In addition, enforcement may vary from city to city. Before purchase, we recommend contacting your local law enforcement agency, DMV and insurance carrier to obtain the most up to date and accurate information for your area.

In addition, check local laws for motorized scooter, electric bike and pocket bike helmet certification requirements. They may require that helmets adhere to ANSI, Snell or DOT certification standards. CPSC certified helmets are approved for use with push scooters, skateboards and bikes, but are not considered sufficient head protection when riding motorized scooters, electric bikes and pocket bikes.

It's the customer's responsibility to check all local laws and regulations prior to purchase. Our standard return policy will apply with no special consideration on all returns due to restrictions in your area.

Electric scooter and bike laws vary from state to state and change from time to time, so we encourage you to check out your state DMV website or contact your local DMV office. Below you will find links to DMV websites for 50 states and Washington DC.
