What S4830 Would Change

Low-Speed E-Bikes & E-Trikes

Restore treatment as bicycles for qualifying low-speed electric bicycles, including qualifying three-wheeled models.

Licensing, Registration & Insurance

Remove driver licensing, registration, and mandatory motor-vehicle insurance requirements for qualifying low-speed electric bicycles.

Faster Motorized Bicycles

Maintain separate regulation of faster motorized bicycles.

Insurance Protections

Address applicable homeowners and renters coverage and provisions of the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Law.

These are proposed changes. Current New Jersey law remains in effect unless the bill becomes law.
