eBike rules in Maryland
Maryland defines an electric bicycle in Transportation Article 11-117.1 as a vehicle designed to be operated by human power with the assistance of an electric motor, with fully operable pedals, two or three wheels, and a motor rated at 750 watts or less. A Class 1 motor assists only while you pedal and ceases to assist at 20 miles an hour. A Class 2 motor assists whether or not you pedal and also ceases at 20. A Class 3 motor assists only while you pedal and ceases at 28. Section 11-104 counts an electric bicycle as a bicycle, and section 11-135 leaves it out of the definition of a motor vehicle.
The operating rules are in 21-1205.2. An electric bicycle may be operated wherever a bicycle is allowed to travel, including bike lanes. A local authority or State agency with jurisdiction over a bicycle path may prohibit a Class 1 or Class 2 on it. A Class 3 may not use a bicycle path unless the path is within or adjacent to a highway right-of-way or the authority allows it, and an authority may regulate any class on a trail designated nonmotorized with a natural surface tread of cleared and graded native soil. A person under 16 may not operate a Class 3 on a public highway, though a child under 16 may ride as a passenger on a Class 3 built for passengers. Section 22-420 adds the permanent label showing class, top assisted speed, and wattage, requires the motor to cut out when the brakes are applied (and, for Class 1 and Class 3, when you stop pedaling), and requires a speedometer in miles per hour on a Class 3.
For helmets, 21-1207.1 requires anyone under 16 to wear an approved helmet when operating or riding as a passenger on a bicycle on a highway, bicycle way, or other property open to the public, and the section is enforced by a warning that comes with educational materials. Because section 11-104 counts an electric bicycle as a bicycle, we read that rule as covering e-bike riders under 16, although 21-1207.1 does not name them. We found no statewide helmet rule for adults, no statewide license or registration requirement, and no statewide e-bike speed limit. Read our Maryland eBike laws guide, then check the posted sign and the local code.
