Do You Need a License for an Electric Bike in the United States?
Understanding U.S. electric bike laws is essential for riders and businesses. Federal law defines e-bikes as pedal-equipped with motors under 750W and max speed of 20 mph. Most states don’t require licenses for Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but some do for faster or higher-powered models. Cemoto ensures compliance with clear labeling and supports fleets with legal, eco-friendly electric bikes.
