eBike rules in Connecticut

Connecticut sorts eBikes into three classes: Class 1 (pedal-assist to 20 mph), Class 2 (throttle to 20 mph), and Class 3 (pedal-assist to 28 mph). No license, registration, or insurance is required. What varies here is local rules: beach towns set boardwalk cycling hours and state parks set their own trail policies, so read the posted signage at each boardwalk and trailhead. Most riding here is flat paved river and shore road, so a commuter eBike for flat river and shore miles fits this county better than a heavy off-road build.
