Texas HB4089 regulates electric bicycles, defining classes and usage restrictions in state parks and on public land.

Texas HB4089 amends the Business & Commerce Code and the Transportation Code to regulate electric bicycles. It defines "electric bicycle" as a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of fewer than 750 watts, with a top assisted speed of 28 miles per hour. The bill prohibits the operation of Class 2 and Class 3 electric bicycles on natural-surface singletrack trails. It allows state agencies and political subdivisions to regulate electric bicycle operation on public land, provided human-powered bicycle operation is allowed.
