eBike rules in Maine
Maine sorts eBikes into three classes in 29-A M.R.S. section 101. An electric bicycle has two or three wheels, fully operable pedals, and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. A Class 1 motor assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 miles an hour. A Class 2 motor is capable of propelling the bike by itself but is not capable of propelling it at 20 miles an hour. A Class 3 motor assists only while you pedal and stops at 28. A bike that meets the definition is left out of the moped, motorized bicycle, and motorized scooter definitions. We found no 2026 amendment to either section.
The operating rules are in section 2063, subsection 14, added by Public Law 2019, chapter 349. An electric bicycle operator is exempt from the Title 29-A rules on financial responsibility, licenses, registration, and plates. Since October 1, 2019, a permanent label must show the class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage, and the motor must disengage when the brakes are applied. A Class 1 or 2 may go wherever a bicycle may go, including bicycle paths, unless the municipality or agency prohibits it. A Class 3 stays off bicycle paths unless the path is inside a highway or roadway or the authority allows it. On a path designated non-motorized with a significant natural surface such as gravel, stones, or wooden bridging, an eBike needs the authority's permission.
Nobody under 16 may operate a Class 2 or Class 3, and a child under 16 may ride as a passenger on one only if the bike is designed for passengers. Any operator or passenger under 16 on any eBike wears a properly fitted bicycle helmet. A Class 3 needs a speedometer that shows miles per hour, and an operator is subject to the open container rule in section 2112-A. Private owners may restrict eBikes on their own ways and property.
