HB4768

Illinois HB4768 regulates low-speed electric bicycles, allowing their use on certain paths and prohibiting use on sidewalks.

Illinois HB4768 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to regulate low-speed electric bicycles. It allows their use on bicycle paths unless prohibited by state, municipal, county, or local authorities. It prohibits their use on sidewalks. Class 3 bicycles can only be operated by those 16 years or older, and passengers must also be 16 or older. The bill mandates specific operational and labeling requirements for these bicycles, including a speedometer for Class 3 bicycles and a label for all classes indicating classification, top speed, and motor wattage.
