Unfortunately in New Jersey E-bikes are considered Mopeds and must be licensed, registered and insured as such. Electric Mopeds must have pedals and may have a motor no greater than 750 Watts and a speed of no greater than 25 MPH. There are no safety inspection requirments for Mopeds, but they must comply with state bicycle safety requirements for things like a sounding device, brakes, and reflectors. If you are over 17 years of age a regular automotive driving license will suffice. Moped drivers must wear a helmet and be able to show their license, registration and proof insurance and must comply with all automtive rules and regulations on public roadways.
