SB647

Hawaii SB647 regulates low-speed electric bicycles, including operational rules, equipment requirements, and definitions.

Hawaii SB647 amends state statutes to regulate low-speed electric bicycles. It defines low-speed electric bicycles and sets operational rules, including prohibiting carrying passengers, limiting speed to fifteen miles per hour, and requiring equipment like reflectors and lights. Counties can regulate operations, storage, speed limits, safety, and insurance. Rental entities must provide local ordinances to renters. The bill also modifies definitions of "bicycle" and "moped" to exclude low-speed electric bicycles.
