Clear information about New Jersey's e-bike law, proposed legislation S4830, and ways riders, families, and businesses can get involved.
Introduced October 15, 2026
Senate Bill S4830 would restore bicycle treatment for qualifying low-speed electric bicycles and e-trikes while maintaining regulations for faster motorized bicycles. S4830 is proposed legislation, not yet law.
Restore treatment as bicycles for qualifying low-speed electric bicycles, including qualifying three-wheeled models.
Remove driver licensing, registration, and mandatory motor-vehicle insurance requirements for qualifying low-speed electric bicycles.
Maintain separate regulation of faster motorized bicycles.
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.
Contact your New Jersey state senator and Assembly members. Ask them to support S4830 and explain how e-bikes and e-trikes affect transportation, accessibility, and independence.
