Where to ride your eBike in Hempstead

The Nassau County guide covers the named Nassau rides, including the Jones Beach State Park paths and boardwalk and the Bethpage Bikeway. Start with our guide to things to do on an eBike in Nassau County for lengths, sources and access notes.

Rules change from place to place. At Jones Beach, Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes are allowed on paved paths and the boardwalk at 15 mph unless signs say otherwise, and Class 3 is prohibited. The Cedar Creek to East Bathhouse path there is about 5.4 miles one way, per the state parks page. The Bethpage Bikeway runs from the Bethpage State Park area south toward Massapequa and is about 13 miles, per Your North Shore Living. We found no posted eBike rule for it, and state law bars eBikes on public land unless the area is designated and posted, so look for signs at your start. The Long Beach boardwalk is closed to eBikes.

For gear or a check-up before you go, Hempstead Village Bike Shop is at 48 Main St. None of the Hempstead shops focus on rentals, so call ahead if you need one. You can also browse the Nassau County eBike shops for nearby options.

eBike rules in Hempstead & New York

New York 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 for any class. In New York, riders under 14 must wear a helmet; NYC has additional rules for Class 3. Pack a helmet and lock, grab some eBike accessories, and if you're transporting it, a bike rack for your car before you ride.
