An operator can use an e-bike where bicycles are allowed, including, but not limited to, streets, highways, roads, shoulders, bicycle lanes, and bicycle or multi-purpose trails. E-bikes are as legal on the street as traditional human-powered bicycles. You can use them on roads, bike trails, and bike lanes. However, the maximum speed of a motorized e-bike should not exceed 20 miles per hour.
State legislation generally focuses on whether e-bikes are classified as scooters, mopeds, or traditional bicycles, but the definitions vary from state to state.
