eBike Rules in Mississippi
Mississippi uses the three-class eBike system: Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20 mph, Class 2 may use a throttle to 20 mph, and Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28 mph. Compliant eBikes are treated as bicycles, not motor vehicles, and do not require a license, registration, title, insurance, or license plate. Class 3 operators must be 16 or older and Class 3 bikes need a speedometer.
Mississippi Code §63-3-1315 also requires a permanent class, speed, and wattage label on bikes manufactured or distributed from January 1, 2022. All classes generally may ride where bicycles are permitted, while local or state trail managers can adopt restrictions. Read Mississippi HB 1195 / §63-3-1315 →
The three class definitions above determine assisted speed and affect where each class may be ridden. Check the controlling authority for route-specific restrictions before riding.
