eBike rules in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania does not use the Class 1, 2 and 3 system in its statute. Instead, 75 Pa.C.S. 102, as amended by Act 154 of 2014, defines a "pedalcycle with electric assist." It is a vehicle weighing not more than 100 pounds with two or three wheels more than 11 inches in diameter. It has operable pedals and an electric motor system rated at not more than 750 watts. On a level surface, powered by the motor only, it must not go faster than 20 mph. The law treats a pedalcycle with electric assist as a pedalcycle.
Because an eBike that fits the definition counts as a pedalcycle, it follows the rules for pedalcycles. Under Chapter 35 of Title 75, section 3508 says riders on sidewalks or pedalcycle paths must yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal. Riding on a sidewalk in a business district is barred unless traffic-control devices permit it or a usable pedalcycle-only lane is adjacent. Section 3514 bars anyone under 16 from operating one. A bill, HB 2703, was introduced July 14, 2026, and referred to House Transportation on July 15. It would adopt three classes and let municipalities regulate eBikes. It is not enacted as of October 8, 2026.
Under section 3510, riders under 12 must wear a pedalcycle helmet, whether they operate the bike or ride as a passenger. The statute has no helmet rule for adults, though wearing one is still smart. An eBike that meets the definition needs no license or registration, because it is a pedalcycle. HB 2703 would also raise fines and bar license, registration and insurance requirements, according to WITF's report on HB 2703 and SR 322. Check the current text before you ride.
