An Act relative to class 3 electric bicycles

Summary

The bill defines a Class 3 electric bicycle as one that provides pedal‑assist only while the rider is pedaling and stops assisting at 28 mph, and expands the overall definition of electric bicycles to include motors of 750 watts or less. It removes the statewide ban on e‑bikes on natural‑surface trails and sidewalks, allowing municipalities and state agencies to adopt ordinances—such as speed limits—after public notice and a hearing. This gives local governments flexibility to manage e‑bike use on trails.
