Riders must be over 15 and pass a written and road test to license any type of electric bicycle.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law that requires people riding all types of electric bikes to get a license.
As an article by Brendan Brightman for NBC Philadelphia explains, the law applies to all e-bikes, including those with fully operable pedals. “To obtain a motorized bicycle license, riders must be at least 15 years old, have six points of ID, pass a written and vision test and take a road test after having a permit for at least 20 days, according to the NJ MVC's website.”
Residents with a valid vehicle driver’s license don’t need an additional e-bike license. However, e-bikes will require registration and insurance, which could have a chilling effect on the growing industry.
