The bill, S4830, would handle some of the issues by redefining the official definition of what the state considers a low-speed e-bike. It defines a low speed e-bike as having a 750 watt or less electric motor and has a top speed of 20 mph when propelled only by the motor.

So basically, this is a tacit admission that the draconian law signed in January 2026 were overly restrictive (to nobody's surprise). And that the unintended consequences are too much, when the risk was posed primarily by e-motos masquerading as ebikes.

But while this new "low-speed ebike" definition seeks to essentially restore Class 1 and 2 ebikes and exempt them from the restrictions, it obviously does nothing for Class 3 riders, and it doesn't lift the age ban.
