NJ Enacts Tough E-Bike Safety Rules, Licensing and Insurance Required
TL;DR
Governor Murphy signed S4834/A6235 to regulate electric bicycles in New Jersey, expanding coverage to all e-bikes and requiring licensing, registration, and insurance for riders; minimum ages are 17 with a valid driver’s license or 15 with a motorized bicycle license, and motorists must exercise caution around e-bikes. The measure, spurred by fatal crashes, updates safety rules for the first time in six years.
