NEW JERSEY E-BIKE LAWS
ARE CHANINGIN 2026!
New Jersey’s new law (S4834) now mandates licenses, registration, and insurance for e-bike owners before July 19th 2026. We’re working hard to keep our community informed and advocate for fair riding laws. As of right now, e-bike riders will need the following:
- Riders 17+: Need a basic Driver's License.
- Riders 15-16: Need a special Motorized Bicycle Permit
- MVC Registration: Registration Fees waived for the 1st year
- Liability Insurance: ALL e-bikes REGARDLESS of power or top speed
- DOT-Approved Helmet
- No online sales of e-bikes in New Jersey for 1 year
- E-bike modification kits are now illegal
